The objective of this paper is to present the first exploratory results of a larger project that seeks to understand the form and degree of participation that were members of the estate society in the colonial productive system of the city of Mendoza (s.

Two adults of both sexes are analyzed recovered during an archaeological rescue archaeological point Santo Domingo (Mendoza). The methodology consists of analyzing the survey MEO from a set of analytical lines: entesic changes, degenerative joint disease, postural markers mechanical stress, fractures, outer section geometric properties of long bones and tooth wear patterns. The project will identify general patterns in the use of the body, expanding the knowledge we have on the health and lifestyles of these populations.
