VENTURA, Beatriz N. e GHEGGI, María Soledad. A first approach to funerary practices in the eastern valleys of northern Salta, Argentina. Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2021, vol.14, n.3, pp.00-00. ISSN 1852-060X. http://dx.doi.org/http://doi.org/10.31048/1852.4826.v14.n3.32996.
Abstract The preliminary results of our work with two human burials that were at risk at Pueblo Viejo de Rodeo Colorado (PVRC) site at Departamento de Iruya, Salta, are presented. They include results from bioarchaeological studies, as well as from the analysis of the different burial practices from the eastern valleys of northern Salta. In addition, results from previous research on these valleys are also considered. The first radiocarbon dates for PVRC and a comparison of burial methods and chronology with other sites from this and other regions, particularly the Quebrada de Humahuaca, are presented. Most cases fit into known funerary practices for the region, but the burial of an adult skull inside an urn is new. We refer to the need of working together with the local communities, especially when dealing with human remains.
