“…In three more cases where biological determination of sex was impossible, the individuals' gender was instead assigned based on their grave goods; these individuals will be referred to as presumed male (Pagrybis 184) and presumed female (Baliuliai and Sudota) ( 2). Biological sex and age-at-death determinations of the analysed humans were performed according to standard anthropological methods (Meindl and Lovejoy 1985;Lovejoy et al 1985;Buikstra and Ubelaker 1994;Martin et al 2013).…”

In this study, 71 human individuals were subjected to stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope analysis of bone collagen samples for the purpose of determining human dietary patterns in Lithuania during the Late Roman and Migration periods. More specifically, based on the isotopic data, the aim was to determine and evaluate any potential dietary differences between individuals on the basis of their sex, age, social status and place of residence during the periods in question. The results of this study suggest that there were isotopically clearly distinguishable dietary differences between individuals from different parts/regions of Lithuania. Also, statistically significant dietary differences (on the basis of δ15N values) between males and females were observed (although, when making the same sex-based isotopic comparisons at an individual site level, the same result was observed only among those from Marvelė cemetery). However, no statistically significant isotopic differences were detected between different social or age groups. Overall, these results give us one of the first glimpses into the types of dietary habits practiced by people in various parts of Lithuania during the Roman and Migration periods, which could also serve as a good starting point for future investigations into other dietary aspects in the territories and periods in question that still remain unknown.

“…A partir de conocer el sexo, la edad de muerte, las patologías óseas -entendidas estas como reflejo de las condiciones de salud, actividad y prácticas de cuidado de los individuos (Martin et al 2013)-y las características del contexto de inhumación, se pretende una mejor comprensión de los grupos humanos durante el Formativo Superior en Quebrada del Toro. Se enfatiza particularmente en el análisis de las lesiones traumáticas observadas, y a partir de las mismas se evalúa la ocurrencia de situaciones de tensión social, violencia y conflicto intra e intergrupal en el marco de los procesos de cambio social acontecidos para dicho momento.…”

Se presentan los resultados del estudio bioarqueológico y del contexto de inhumación de un individuo masculino adulto L2, hallado en el sitio Tres Cruces I, y que se estima vivió durante la segunda mitad del primer milenio AD. Desde un enfoque ostebiográfico, que enfatiza en las patologías observadas y el entorno social, se busca conocer su trayectoria de vida, y a partir de la misma, discutir aspectos vinculados con el uso de cuerpo, los cuidados, las causas de muerte y la violencia en el pasado. Las lesiones halladas más sobresalientes fueron dos traumas, una fractura directa por depresión sin penetración en el parietal izquierdo y un trauma directo por perforación con inclusión de punta de proyectil en la 4º vértebra lumbar. De acuerdo a los rasgos de ambas lesiones fueron clasificados como pre y perimortem respectivamente. Concluimos que el individuo L2 estuvo expuesto a reiterados episodios de violencia interpersonal, no obstante, la información disponible a la fecha no permite sugerir con certeza la existencia de una situación generalizada de conflicto intergrupal o tensión social intragrupal.
