Keywords:
Nineteenth century, bioarchaeology, osteobiography.
Abstract
The Chimpay site is located in the Negro River middle valley, a few miles west from Choele Choel Island, in the south-center of Argentina. It is a late nineteenth century context that consists in a double burial of a man and a woman associated with a rich and diverse european and indigenous funeral offering, suggesting that they had a hierarchical social position and that the male would have had an Argentine military rank. In order to clarify this complex funeral ritual, the paper develops an osteobiographical approach and aims to give information about biological identification of the individuals and to infer their general living conditions.Downloads
