description This paper summarizes the bioarchaeological studies of the osteological collection recovered in Paso Mayor Y1S2 site (Coronel Pringles, Buenos Aires). Analyses were carried out in different stages. First, a detailed inventory of the collection was made and some taphonomic variables were considered in order to evaluate the general condition of the bone remains. A second phase was oriented to the determination of the age-sex structure of the sample. Finally, occupational stress markers studies were undertaken along with the observation of certain infectious and traumatic pathologies. As a whole, these analyses show the primary and secondary burial of sub-adults and adults individuals of both sexes. The collection exhibits a good preservation allowing the determination of most of the analyzed bones. Occupational stress markers show the importance of ambulatory activity as well as the possible use of bows and arrows. Also, a single case of periosteal reaction in the lower limbs and a cranial traumatism were recorded. Finally, bioarchaeological information of the site is discussed and related to the published information of other sites in the area.
