| Sumario: | The aim of this work is to present the results of a study on human bone remains where the protocol developed in 2007 by the Anthropology Division of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Museum of the University of La Plata was applied for the first time. This protocol is aimed at generating information that allows providing elements for the contextualization of human remains of unknown origin and their subsequent entry into the collection of the Anthropology Division. Through a multidisciplinary approach, it was learned that these remains correspond to an individual assigned to the older adult age group, female, on whom features of injuries associated with the oral cavity and joint degenerations were recorded. On the other hand, its maternal lineage corresponding to the D1g subclade was identified and a radiocarbon analysis carried out on these remains allowed us to obtain a date of 2420 14C years BP. This protocol demonstrates the possibility of contextualizing remains of unknown origin to incorporate them into the Museum’s collection. |
