Lethal and non-lethal encounters in an island setting
Impaled and Displayed
Large Cranial Vault Lesions (Scalping?) Among the Guanches (Tenerife, Canary Islands)
The aim of the present study is to describe some large lesions observed in cranial vaults belonging to pre‐Hispanic individuals (Guanches) from Tenerife. Among the 41 pre‐Hispanic skulls housed at the Instituto de Canarias Cabrera Pinto of the city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna (Tenerife, Canary Islands), we identified two cases from Barranco del Agua de Dios, an archaeological site with many dwelling sites and burial caves that was occupied by t…
A life in the sea
The permanent settlement of North African Amazigh groups on the island of Gran Canaria during the early centuries of the Common Era, as in the remainder of the Canary archipelago, entailed the transference and subsequent adaptation of mainland lifeways and ideological frameworks to an insular context. This study focuses on the interaction between the Indigenous population and the sea to understand how this relationship evolved over time and shape…

Cementerios, cambio social y migración en el tiempo de los antiguos canarios
Este trabajo profundiza en la periodización de las prácticas funerarias de los antiguos canarios. Se aportan nuevas fechas y se usa un tratamiento bayesiano de las dataciones para examinar los intervalos de inicio, final y tasa de cambio de las tres categorías sepulcrales definidas: cuevas, túmulos y fosas/cistas. Los cambios en las prácticas funerarias solo pueden ser entendidos en el marco social de referencia, que en el caso grancanario necesi…
Cemeteries, social change and migration in the time of the Ancient Canarians
This paper delves into the proposal for periodisation of funerary practices among the Ancient Canarians. New radiocarbon dates are provided together with a Bayesian treatment used to estimate the onset and later tempo of the three burial categories previously established: caves, tumuli, and pit-graves/cists, as well as their temporal activity patterns. Changes in funerary practices can only be understood within the social framework of reference w…
Poblamiento y cambio social de un territorio aislado? Propuestas sobre la evolución de la ocupación territorial de la isla de Gran Canaria en época prehispánica
La colonización de las Islas Canarias ha sido objeto de diversos trabajos; sin embargo, la implantación humana en los diferentes territorios y su evolución en el tiempo es una cuestión que prácticamente no ha recibido atención en la investigación. En este trabajo presentamos una propuesta interpretativa de las dinámicas de ocupación de la isla de Gran Canaria entre los ss. III y XV d. C. desde una perspectiva temporal y comparada basada en la lon…
Perinatal burials at pre-Hispanic noncemetery sites in Gran Canaria
In this paper, we perform the first multidisciplinary study of perinatal burials at a pre-Hispanic domestic site in Gran Canaria. For that, we carried out bioanthropological analyses, the genetic determination of the molecular sex of the individuals, and the contextualization of their chronological and cultural affiliations. To date, these remains had been associated to a local re-interpretation of a Phoenician-Punic tophet or as evidence of fema…
Postmortem Animal Interference in an Indigenous Burial (Lanzarote, Canary Islands)
This article addresses the study of an indigenous burial at Mina Mountain (Lanzarote), dating from cal A.D. 1300 to 1402. Pre-European funerary contexts in Lanzarote are scarce, resulting in a particular historical situation for a population that lived on the island for at least 1,400 years, whose dead people and burial sites are virtually unknown. We analyze the available data on mortuary practices of the native population, adding a new example …
Oral conditions of the pre-Hispanic mummies of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain)
The end of a long journey. Tumulus burials in Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) in the second half of the first millennium AD
This paper addresses the study of tumulus necropolises among the pre-Hispanic population of Gran Canaria. In this first characterisation, their emergence is contextualised in the social framework of the ancient Canarians and historical links with the North African sphere are proposed. Published radiocarbon determinations for the tumulus phenomenon of the first millennium AD on the continent have been reviewed and a Bayesian model has been created…
Use of decayed wood for funerary practices
A propósito del poblamiento aborigen en Gran Canaria. Demografía, dinámica social y ocupación del territorio
Este trabajo aborda el estudio de la dinámica poblacional y demográfica de la ocupación prehispánica de Gran Canaria. Para ello se ha recurrido al análisis de la distribución del sumatorio de probabilidad de las dataciones radiocarbónicas procedentes, en este caso, de contextos funerarios. Los resultados obtenidos se compararon con dos modelos teóricos nulos de crecimiento poblacional, tratando de explicarlos teniendo en cuenta la información arq…
Climatic change and diet of the pre-Hispanic population of Gran Canaria (Canary Archipelago, Spain) during the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age
Isolation and violence on an oceanic island
This paper analyzes different forms of violence identified among the ancient Canarians, a population that settled an oceanic island and remained there, without regular external contacts, for more than a millennium. Specifically, we focus on a funerary deposit composed of 14 individuals with high rates of violence, in some cases of a lethal nature. The study uses forensic anthropology techniques to characterize the individuals’ injuries. It also e…
Violent encounter or capital punishment? Evidence of lethal violence in an indigenous burial from Fuerteventura (Canary Islands, Spain)
century cal AD, from Fuerteventura Island. The pattern of injuries of the skeletal remains, together with the grave's features suggest exceptional circumstances of death and funerary treatment differing from those commonly observed elsewhere among the indigenous population of the Canary Archipelago. The study first uses forensic anthropology techniques to characterise the individual's injuries before turning to archaeological and ethno-historical…
Exploring the risks accompanying child-bearing in aboriginal society on Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, 13th–15th cal. CE)
In the pre-Hispanic necropolis of Juan Primo, northwest Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) a grave was found containing a 20-25 year-old woman with a foetus in her abdominal region, whose age at death was estimated at 33-35 weeks of gestation. The purpose of this study is to discuss the possible cause of death of the woman and foetus. Skeletons of both individuals were well preserved, permitting a good record of the bones found in the burial, w…
La dimensión temporal y el fenómeno sepulcral entre los antiguos canarios
In archaeological cultures, classifying historical processes is a complex task when their timeframe is missing. Such a circumstance has represented a secular handicap hindering the knowledge of the first inhabitants of Gran Canaria, accentuated by the shortage of chronological references that allow the understanding of the occupation of a territory defined by its insular condition. This has led to the idea of a ‘simple culture’ in which the numer…
V iolence in paradise
Objectives This paper addresses the prevalence and pattern of physical violence in the prehispanic society of Gran Canaria and discusses its link with the social structure and insular context in which that people lived. Materials and Methods 347 prehispanic crania from Guayadeque Ravine (575–1415 AD) have been examined in order to determine the frequency, types, location, and timing of trauma. Results Craniofacial injuries are present in 27.4% of…
Violence targeting children or violent society? Craniofacial injuries among the pre-Hispanic subadult population of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands)
The approach to Gran Canaria's pre-Hispanic period has traditionally been dominated by a romantic and propitious view of its indigenous populations advocating a historical evolution on the margin of the conflicts and contradictions common to any society. Yet new data indicate that the ancient Canarians were subject to high rates of internal violence linked to the island's isolation and harsh biogeographical conditions, as well as marked personal …
Fatal Injuries in a pre-Hispanic Canary Mummy
Perimortem traumas have been identified in a pre-Hispanic Canary mummy (fifth-sixth centuries cal AD). The location and nature of the fractures in the cranium, cervical vertebrae, ribs and both legs indicate a fall from a considerable height, which would have been the cause of death. Supported by forensic anthropology criteria and historical information about the population of origin, the circumstances in which the fatal injuries might have occur…
The Paths of the European Conquest of the Atlantic
European expansion in the Atlantic in the Late Middle Ages often implied the use of violence, involving tactics and weaponry unknown to some of the affected populations. Among the first places to suffer this violence were the Canary Islands, whose conquest lasted the whole of the 15th century. Documentary information about this historical episode is abundant, whereas archaeological evidence testifying to it is very rare. However, an individual fr…

Calculus, periodontal disease and tooth decay among the prehispanic population from Gran Canaria
Calculus, periodontal disease and tooth decay among the prehispanic population from Gran Canaria
Dental caries among the prehispanic population from Gran Canaria
The island of Gran Canaria was inhabited in pre‐Hispanic times by people of North African origin who arrived on the island towards the second half of the first millennium BC. In previous studies, we reported that there are some differences between the coastal inhabitants from Gran Canaria, mainly buried in tumuli, and those from the central mountains, mainly buried in caves. For example, the prevalence of auricular exostoses is higher among the p…
