  • Bioantropología de las manos

    Open AccessRichard Giovanni Guamán-Chulunchana, Matilde Arnay‐de‐la‐rosa et al.ARTICLEVegueta Anuario de la Facultad de…2026

    This study highlights the osteological value of hand bones, with particular attention to their potential for sex estimation, age assessment, activity pattern analysis, and the identification of pathological and traumatic signs. Several archaeological sites from Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) were analyzed, documenting possible fractures in various hand bones, degenerative changes consistent with rhizarthrosis, and enthesopathies in phalanges. The …

  • Large Cranial Vault Lesions (Scalping?) Among the Guanches (Tenerife, Canary Islands)

    Open AccessEmilio González-Reimers, E Gonzalez‐Reimers et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2026Referências: 3

    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…

  • Rasgos no-métricos en el esqueleto humano

    Open AccessSamuel J Cockerill, Matilde Arnay‐de‐la‐rosa et al.ARTICLERevista Argentina de Antropología…2025

    Non-metric traits can be observed in teeth, the skull or the postcranial skeleton, and include anatomical variations of many different types. It was initially thought that most of these traits - especially the cranial ones- had a major genetic predisposition. However, it was later observed that many of them were acquired, which reflects the practice of a particular activity or the adoption of certain postures (for example, squatting) over long pe…

  • A malnourished infant from La Grieta (Las Cañadas, Tenerife) with cervical spine hyperlordosis

    Emilio González‐reimer, Emilio González-Reimers et al.ARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger2025

    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…

  • SEM technology for the analysis of tiny calcified remains from a pre‐Hispanic burial from El Hierro (Canary Islands)

    Open AccessAlejandra C Ordóñez, Emma Suárez‐toste et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2024Referências: 65

    Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDX) enables the determination of the composition and structure of tiny calcified remains occasionally recovered during burial excavations. To deepen the practical application of this technique, we performed SEM/EDX analysis on three different tiny mineralized, roughly rounded structures with a diameter of less than 5 mm recovered from a pre‐Hispanic collective …

  • Osteosclerotic disease and bone cyst in a prehispanic burial from Las Cañadas del Teide (Tenerife, Canary Islands)

    Emilio González‐reimer, Emilio González-Reimers et al.ARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger2024

    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…

  • Intracemetery relationships

    Samuel J Cockerill, Verónica Alberto‐barroso et al.ARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger2024

    century CE. These graves and cists are clustered together in different formations across the necropolis, giving rise to a complex composition that denotes the existence of possible interpersonal relationships of the people buried there. A total of 135 calcanei and 118 tali were analysed to find non-metric traits and to test whether the clustered burials share a non-metric trait relationship. Trait combinations were formed using talus and calcaneu…

  • A Prehispanic infant from Tenerife with diffuse microporotic lesions

    Emilio González‐reimer, Emilio González-Reimers et al.ARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger2023

    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…

  • Virtual skeletons and digital muscles

    Open AccessJared Carballo‐pérez, Norberto Marrero-Gordillo et al.ARTICLEVirtual Archaeology Review2022

    Highlights: The combination of biomechanical analysis and open-access Kinovea software enables the study of musculoskeletal and articular wear of experimentally reproduced tasks. The repeated use of the right arm during indirect percussion and abrasion in lithic production could increase the changes in bone robusticity of specific muscle attachments observed in the osteoarchaeological record. Motion ranges and postural angles analysis can generat…

    Open AccessSamuel J Cockerill, Alejandra C Ordóñez et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022Referências: 55

    The aim of this study was assessing the prevalence of os trigonum , talo‐calcaneal facets, and squatting facet variations among pre‐Hispanic individuals (around 940 ± 30 bp ) placed in the collective burial cave of Punta Azul (El Hierro, Canary Islands), and to assess whether prevalence differed among sexes. A total of 149 tali (70 right and 79 left) belonging to adult individuals were found in a comingled context. Sex determination was achieved …

  • Fuel sources, natural vegetation and subsistence at a high-altitude aboriginal settlement in Tenerife, Canary Islands

    Open AccessLaura Tomé, Margarita Jambrina-Enríquez et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2022Citada por: 9Referências: 87

    High-altitude island environments, with their characteristic strong seasonal contrast and limited resources, are challenging contexts for human subsistence. However, although archaeological contexts in this kind of setting hold great potential to explore the diversity of human biological and cultural adaptations, such sites are rare. In this paper, we present the results of a microcontextual geoarchaeological study carried out at Roques de García…

  • Footpaths Marked by Changes in Geological Clasts as Indicators of Mobility in Tenerife, Canary Islands

    Matilde Arnay‐de‐la‐rosa, Matilde Arnay-De-La-Rosa et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2017Referências: 8

    Studies on the mobility of past populations are useful in the interpretation of trade and lifestyle. Preservation of ancient paths is uncommon. In Tenerife, a volcanic island of the Canary Archipelago, ancient paths are still preserved, due to the dry climatic conditions and the presence of extensive lava fields in inhospitable areas of the Island. The Guanches who inhabited this island before the Spanish conquest, those surviving in the highland…

  • Prehispanic (Guanches) mummies and natrium salts in burial caves of Las Cañadas del Teide (Tenerife)

    0.01). There are no reports that support the use of natrium salts in the embalming process among the Guanches, but we found a clear-cut relationship between the presence and/or amount of natrium salts in caves and their use as burial sites by the prehispanic population buried in the central highlands, suggesting an intentional use of caves containing this mineral as burial caves, based perhaps on the observation of the ability of natrium salts to…

  • Differences in tibial shape among the Prehispanic inhabitants from Gomera, Punta Azul (El Hierro), and Gran Canaria (Canary Islands)

    Emilio González‐reimer, Emilio González-Reimers et al.ARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger2017Citada por: 1

    The Canary Archipelago was colonized by North African Berbers who arrived at the Islands in the first millenium BC. Although it was classically considered that the prehispanic population was more or less uniform, recent genetic analysis has disclosed that some differences did exist between inhabitants of the different islands. From pure anthropometrical point of view, detailed inspection of some bones such as tibiae of prehispanic inhabitants of …
