Sex determination in human burials from Los Tres Cerros 1 site (Upper Delta of the Paraná River, Entre Ríos) using quantitative methods
In this contribution, we present the results of the application of discriminant functions to study long bones of human burials from the Los Tres Cerros 1 site (Upper Delta of the Paraná River, Entre Ríos). The collection is characterized by a large number of individuals of undetermined sex, du...

I28-R145-7328_oai2025-11-17 Ramos van Raap, M. Agustina Di Lorenzo, Bianca Scabuzzo, Clara Batalla, Yamila 2019-10-01 In this contribution, we present the results of the application of discriminant functions to study long bones of human burials from the Los Tres Cerros 1 site (Upper Delta of the Paraná River, Entre Ríos). The collection is characterized by a large number of individuals of undetermined sex, due to the absence of diagnostic skeletal parts such as the pelvis and skull, which probably responds to the high number of secondary burials, and isolated skeletal remains. Therefore, we used this quantitative methodology to estimate the sex composition of this bioarchaeological collection.The discriminant functions used correspond to those considered by other researchers to analyze long bones from sites in the Lower Delta of the Paraná River. We analyzed 37 long bones, which correspond to a minimum number of 17 individuals. First, nine individuals with sex-diagnostic elements were included in the analysis to evaluate the prediction ability of the functions. Subsequently, discriminant functions were applied to eight individuals of undetermined sex. Results allowed us to specify the sexual composition of the burials of the site and showed a sexual differentiation in the burial modalities, and a higher representation of male burials. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de la aplicación de funciones discriminantes en huesos largos de entierros humanos del sitio Los Tres Cerros 1 (Delta Superior del río Paraná, Entre Ríos). Debido a la gran cantidad de paquetes funerarios y huesos aislados hallados en el sitio, la ausencia de partes diagnósticas como pelvis y cráneo no permitió conocer el sexo de numerosos individuos. En este sentido, surgió la necesidad de aplicar esta metodología cuantitativa para ajustar la composición sexual de este conjunto. Las funciones discriminantes utilizadas corresponden a aquellas establecidas por otros investigadores para huesos largos de sitios del Delta Inferior del Paraná. El análisis se realizó en 37 huesos largos correspondientes a un número mínimo de 17 individuos. En primer término, se aplicaron las funciones en elementos óseos de nueve esqueletos que ya habían sido sexados previamente, mayormente a través de métodos cualitativos. Posteriormente se aplicaron a los huesos de ocho individuos con sexo desconocido. Estos resultados permitieron precisar el perfil sexual de los entierros del LTC1, observar una diferenciación sexual en las modalidades de inhumación y una mayor representación de individuos masculinos inhumados en el sitio. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/7328 10.34096/arqueologia.t25.n3.7328 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/7328/6576 Derechos de autor 2019 Arqueología Arqueología; Vol. 25 No. 3 (2019): September-December; 167-182 Arqueología; Vol. 25 Núm. 3 (2019): septiembre-diciembre; 167-182 1853-8126 0327-5159 Discriminant functions Secondary burials Long bones Sex determination Upper Delta of the Paraná River Late Holocene Funciones discriminantes Entierros secundarios Huesos largos Determinación sexual Delta Superior del río Paraná Holoceno tardío Sex determination in human burials from Los Tres Cerros 1 site (Upper Delta of the Paraná River, Entre Ríos) using quantitative methods Determinación de sexo a partir de métodos cuantitativos en entierros humanos del sitio Los Tres Cerros 1 (delta superior del río Paraná, Entre Ríos) 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=7328_oai |
