Una perspectiva bioarqueológica del cambio social en el bajo Río Verde, Oaxaca, México
Durante los proyectos arqueológicos en el valle del bajo Río Verde en Oaxaca, México se han descubierto una serie de restos humanos pertenecientes a la parte tardía del periodo Formativo (400 a.C. - 250 d.C.) hasta el periodo Clásico temprano. A través de estos siglos, sucedieron cambios sociales importantes, incluyendo la propuesta de una posible conquista de la zona por los habitantes de Monte Albán y un episodio de centralización político segu…
Stigmata of Congenital Syphilis on a High Status Juvenile at Yuguë, Oaxaca, Mexico
Presented here is a case study from Mesoamerica whose dentition resembles the dental stigmata of others who have been described as having congenital syphilis. Found with a green stone bracelet, this child was likely a high-status member of a pre-Colombian population from the Pacific Coast of Oaxaca, Mexico (late Terminal Formative Period, 150 BCE – CE 250). While taphonomic changes precluded in-depth observations of the skeleton, dental traits su…

Spiro Mounds, Oklahoma: Dental Evidence for Subsistence Strategies
Spiro Mounds was a ceremonial complex located on the Arkansas River, situated in a natural corridor between the Southeast, the Plains, and the Southwestern United States. Considered a quintessential Mississippian site ( ad 1000– ad 1450), Spiro was strategically placed as a cultural gateway. Here, dental evidence is presented to aid in the determination of dietary regime and overall population health. The hypothesis regarding the delayed transiti…
Shades of Gray: Skeletal Analysis and the Repatriation Process
Guilt, fear, power, politics, legitimacy, science, religion, and denial—all of these elements have played a role and are integral to the ongoing debate regarding the repatriation of Native American burials and associated funerary objects. Scientists and tribal groups have argued the repatriation issue for two decades, gradually reaching some common ground, but not without major tension that is, at times, of explosive proportion. Designed to suppo…

Osteobiography of a high-status burial from the lower Río Verde Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico
This paper presents the osteobiography of an individual from an early complex society who was clearly of "special" social status but was not classified a ruling elite. Our case derives from a unique burial found at the small site of Yugüe, located in the lower Río Verde valley on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca, Mexico. Burial 14-Individual 16 (B14-I16) dates to the late Terminal Formative Period (CE 100-250), an era of regional political centralizat…
