I28-R145-2241_oai2025-11-17 García Laborde, Pamela Guichón, Ricardo A. González, Nadia G. 2016-05-09 This paper presents a first taphonomic analysis of the cemetery from the old Salesian Mission ‘La Candelaria’ in Tierra del Fuego. Post-depositional indicators surveyed in nine burials showed relatively small variability between individuals. The variables with the highest incidence were: bone integrity, bone loss, preservation and root action. Other variables such as differential staining, presence of fungi, fractures and adhesions affected to a lesser extent. Finally, marks from rodents and carnivores were not present. Furthermore, the general conditions of the remains were analyzed to allow surveying for nutritional, metabolic and infectious diseases. Specifically, indicators most likely to be observed are: porotic hyperostosis and rib periosteal reaction (in 89% of cases), cribra orbitalia (78 % of cases) and appendicular periosteal reaction (56 % of cases). Bone loss is the post-depositional variable that affected the sample the most. The pH obtained on sediment samples showed values near neutrality. Finally, sex of individuals, spatial location or depth of burial did not produce variation in the preservation of the remains. En este trabajo se presenta un primer análisis tafonómico del cementerio de la antigua Misión Salesiana “La Candelaria” de Tierra del Fuego. Los indicadores postdepositacionales relevados en nueve individuos presentaron relativamente poca variabilidad entre ellos. Las variables con mayor incidencia fueron: la integridad ósea, la pérdida ósea, la preservación y la acción de raíces. Otras variables como la coloración diferencial, presencia de hongos, las fracturas y las adherencias afectaron en menor medida. Por último, las marcas de roedores y carnívoros no estaban presentes. La evaluación de las condiciones generales que presentan los restos para poder ser objeto de relevamientos paleopatológicos (especialmente enfermedades metabólico nutricionales e infecciosas) sugieren que los indicadores con mayor probabilidad de ser observados son: hiperostosis porótica y reacción perióstica costal (en el 89% de los casos), criba orbital (78% de los casos) y reacción perióstica apendicular (56% de los casos). La pérdida ósea constituye la variable postdepositacional que más afectó la muestra. El pH obtenido de sedimentos presentó valores próximos a la neutralidad. No se observaron variaciones asociables al sexo de los individuos analizados ni a su ubicación espacial o a la profundidad en la que se encontraba enterrado. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/2241 10.34096/arqueologia.t21.n2.2241 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/2241/1900 Arqueología; Vol. 21 No. 2 (2015): May-August; 277-290 Arqueología; Vol. 21 Núm. 2 (2015): mayo-agosto; 277-290 1853-8126 0327-5159 Tafonomía Cementerio histórico Preservación ósea Taphonomy Historic cementery Bone preservation The old cemetery of the Salesian Mission, Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego: a taphonomic approach Una aproximación tafonómica al antiguo cementerio de la Misión Salesiana de Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=2241_oai |

This paper presents a first taphonomic analysis of the cemetery from the old Salesian Mission ‘La Candelaria’ in Tierra del Fuego. Post-depositional indicators surveyed in nine burials showed relatively small variability between individuals. The variables with the highest incidence were: bone integrity, bone loss, preservation and root action. Other variables such as differential staining, presence of fungi, fractures and adhesions affected to a lesser extent. Finally, marks from rodents and carnivores were not present. Furthermore, the general conditions of the remains were analyzed to allow surveying for nutritional, metabolic and infectious diseases. Specifically, indicators most likely to be observed are: porotic hyperostosis and rib periosteal reaction (in 89% of cases), cribra orbitalia (78 % of cases) and appendicular periosteal reaction (56 % of cases). Bone loss is the post-depositional variable that affected the sample the most. The pH obtained on sediment samples showed values near neutrality. Finally, sex of individuals, spatial location or depth of burial did not produce variation in the preservation of the remains. |
