A high-resolution chronology for La Cueva de Los Cabezazos (Tegueste, Tenerife, Canary Islands) and its implications for aboriginal settlement dynamics
The chronology and settlement dynamics of aboriginal occupation in Tenerife remain poorly resolved compared with those of other Canary Islands, partly due to the scarcity of stratigraphically controlled radiocarbon sequences. This paper presents a high-resolution chronological reassessment of Cueva de Los Cabezazos, a key habitation site in the Barranco Agua de Dios, one of the most archaeologically significant areas for understanding Guanche set…
A malnourished infant from La Grieta (Las Cañadas, Tenerife) with cervical spine hyperlordosis
Excavation of a non-spoiled burial cave located among the lava blocks of La Grieta (Las Cañadas, Tenerife, Canary Islands), led to the recovery of a 940 year-antique, 10-year-old pre-Hispanic (Guanche) child (genetically sexed), who presented a marked cervical hyperlordosis and a rectification of the remaining spine (until L1), together with microporotic changes of the cranial vault, a bowed right tibia, and a rough, porotic appearance of the met…
Ankylosing spondylitis and heterotopic calcification
century) housed at the Department of Anatomy of the school of medicine (University of La Laguna, Tenerife). The Prehispanic individual possibly suffered a pelvic fracture that caused a hematoma which underwent ossification. Some features (periosteal reaction, formation of new foramina) may also suggest a superimposed infection. The fracture altered the pelvic structure, severely narrowing the right sciatic notch, possibly causing neural and/or va…
Osteosclerotic disease and bone cyst in a prehispanic burial from Las Cañadas del Teide (Tenerife, Canary Islands)
Skeletal remains of two prehispanic male adult individuals (antiquity ≈ 550 BP) recovered from a burial cave located in Montaña Blanca (Las Cañadas del Teide) at an altitude of 2450 m above sea level, in the highlands of Tenerife (Canary Islands) showed some unusual features. Femora and tibiae of both individuals showed increased bone density, with irregular thickening of the midshaft diaphyses. One individual showed a cystic lesion in the distal…
A Prehispanic infant from Tenerife with diffuse microporotic lesions
We describe diffuse microporotic lesions observed in most of the scattered skeletal remains belonging to a ≈ 6 months-old female (genetic sexing) prehispanic (antiquity ≈ 600 years BP) individual recovered from a small recess of a basaltic burial cave in the highlands (2300 m above sea level) of Tenerife. Although sphenoid wings were lacking, microporotic lesions were present in several bones, especially in the hard palate, basilar part of the oc…
