Cardillo, Marcelo 2020-10-30 On the wall decoration of Theban Tomb 49, its owner, Neferhotep, is represented together with other social actors displaying different activities during his earthly life and in his posthumous projection. It is expected that some of these visual expressions are very similar to reality, while others fit a potential recreation of future situations, once Neferhotep was dead. We wonder if there is any kind of differentiation in the shape of the representations that allows identifying the portrayed people individually or if the social groups involved in burial rituals are the focus of the paintings. Our aim is to evaluate the existence of shape variations in portrayed people profiles, according to previous geometric morphometric analyses that showed the existence of sex and rank and/or status shape differences. Here we are interested in assessing the interaction of both variables and the relative importance of sex (determined through of physiognomy) in morphological variations of male and female portrays. En la decoración parietal de la Tumba Tebana 49, su propietario, Neferhotep, está representado junto con otros actores sociales desempeñando distintas actividades durante su vida terrena y en su proyección póstuma. Puede esperarse que algunas de estas expresiones visuales guarden altos grados de similitud con la realidad, mientras que otras se ajusten a una recreación de potenciales situaciones que ocurrirían a futuro, una vez que hubiese muerto. Al respecto, nos preguntamos si existe alguna clase de diferenciación en la forma de las representaciones que permita individualizar a las personas retratadas, o si sólo interesaba representar a aquellos grupos sociales que debían intervenir en los rituales de enterramiento. Persiguiendo este objetivo, nos proponemos evaluar la existencia de variaciones en la forma de los perfiles de las personas representadas, retomando algunos de los resultados alcanzados en trabajos precedentes. Dichos análisis, efectuados mediante las técnicas de morfometría geométrica, mostraron la existencia de diferencias dependientes del sexo como así también del estatus y/o rango social en los modos de representación de los perfiles de los personajes. Aquí nos interesa evaluar la interrelación de ambas variables y la importancia relativa del sexo (determinado mediante rasgos fisonómicos) en las variaciones morfológicas observadas en los retratos de hombres y mujeres. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/8456 10.34096/arqueologia.t26.n3.8456 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/8456/7606 Derechos de autor 2020 Arqueología Arqueología; Vol. 26 No. 3 (2020): September-December; 187-205 Arqueología; Vol. 26 Núm. 3 (2020): septiembre-diciembre; 187-205 1853-8126 0327-5159 Neferhotep´s Tomb Profiles Sex Status Geometric morphometrics Tumba de Neferhotep Perfiles Sexo Estatus Morfometría geométrica Sexual and social differentiation: their role in the morphological variations of portray scenes at Theban Tomb 49, Egypt Diferenciación sexual y diferenciación social: su importancia en las variaciones morfológicas de los retratos de la Tumba Tebana 49, Egipto info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=8456_oai
