          Abstract

          Resumen: Desde hace unos años, en el Centro-Norte de Mendoza se han llevado adelante investigaciones que buscan analizar el impacto de los cambios de estrategias de subsistencia producidos durante el Holoceno Tardío y que incluyen el estudio de estos procesos sobre el desarrollo de diferentes patologías y patrones de estrés. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del análisis de la osteoartrosis (OA) en la columna vertebral en 26 individuos pertenecientes a seis sitios arqueológicos, considerando la división cronológica (antes y después del 1000 AP) y geomorfológica (Montaña y Planicie) planteada en investigaciones previas. Se observó una tendencia a un mayor desarrollo de la OA, particularmente en los segmentos dorsal y lumbar, en momentos asociados a grupos de economías con un mayor aporte proveniente de la caza-recolección. Por el contrario, los individuos de periodos tardíos, asociados a un mayor consumo de recursos domesticados y que incluyen la dominación Inka y el contacto con colonizadores europeos, mostraron prevalencias menores y de poca severidad. Los resultados obtenidos contribuyen al conocimiento acerca de la OA en los grupos que habitaron la región durante el Holoceno Tardío.

          Abstract: Since a few years ago, several studies have been carried out to analyze the impact of economic changes produced in the center-north of Mendoza during the late Holocene on the development of skeletal pathologies and stress patterns. This study presents the results of an analysis of spinal osteoarthrosis (OA) on 26 individuals belonging to six archaeological sites, considering the chronological (before and after 1000 BP) and geomorphological (Mountain and Plain) divisions proposed in previous investigations. A trend towards a greater development of OA, particularly in the dorsal and lumbar segments, was observed within groups associated with economies primarily based on hunting and gathering. By contrast, individuals belonging to later periods, associated with a greater intake of domesticated resources, and including Inka rule and contact with Spanish conquistadores, show lower incidence rates and severity. Our results add to the existing knowledge about OA in the different groups that inhabited the region during the late Holocene.

              Multifactorial determination of skeletal age at death: a method and blind tests of its accuracy.

              Traditional methods of estimating skeletal age at death have relied solely on the pubic symphyseal face or on this indicator combined with others in nonsystematic ways. A multifactorial method is presented that uses a principal components weighting of five indicators (public symphyseal face, auricular surface, radiographs of proximal femur, dental wear, and suture closure). This method has been tested by completely blind assessment of age in two samples from the Todd collection carefully screened for accuracy of stated age at death. Results show a marked superiority of the multifactorial method over any single indicator with respect to both bias and accuracy. This represents the first truly blind test of an age-at-death indicator or system, as the test populations were independent of the system(s) being tested, and the age, sex, and ethnogeographic origin of the individuals being assessed (as well as the compositions of the test samples with respect to these variables) were completely unknown until the tests were completed. Implications for paleodemography are discussed.
