ORTIZ, Gabriela et al. Sub-adults researches of the San Francisco's watershed river, Jujuy, Argentina (0-500 dC). Rev Arg Antrop Biol [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.2, pp.1-15. ISSN 1514-7991.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17139/raab.2018.0020.02.01.

The following paper presents the analysis of a sample of subadult individuals exhumed at different sites in the San Francisco valley region, with chronologies spanning from ca. 2000 till ca. 1500 BP. Indicators such as health (particularly, metabolic pathologies), age, epigenetic markers, deformation practices, and burial contexts or contexts of recovery of skeletal remains were considered. Diverse cultural practices were also observed, including craneal deformation, peri and postmortem defleshing-scalping, and exposure of the bodies to fire. Burial types showed a great diversity, with primary burials, urn burials, and secondary burials. Aspects related to environmental living conditions and mortuary practices as reflection of the social role of sub-adults are discussed.
