| Sumario: | Cueva de Plaza is the first site with multiple burials dated in historical moments for the Valle del Genoa (Chubut, Argentina). In the cave, the action of various agents that generated the displacement and mixing of archaeological materials (human and faunal bone remains, lithic artifacts, glass beads, leather fragments and plant remains) was detected. The final bioarchaeological analysis and a detailed paleopathological analysis of these human samples are presented in this work. The structure of the CDP sample allows us to consider the possibility that the represented individuals may have died penecontemporaneously or in a limited time range while paleopathological analysis detected one infectious lesion, two traumatic injuries, lines of dental enamel hypoplasia and a congenital alteration. The characteristics of this context are discussed in the general framework of the model of cultural transmission networks postulated from the rock art of northwestern Patagonia for the Late Holocene and its correspondence with the patterns of the bioarchaeological record of neighboring sites. |
