espanolDiferenciar entre fracturas perimortem y postmortem no es tarea facil de desempenar, por lo que las caracteristicas macroscopicas que pueden observarse en una fractura perimortem son claves a la hora de diferenciarla de una postmortem. Sin embargo, establecer una relacion casuistica entre el momento de la muerte y la lesion resulta complicado, ya que el contenido de humedad del hueso se mantiene tiempo despues de la muerte, mostrando, por lo tanto, propiedades similares al tejido esqueletico fresco, por lo que es necesario atender a otras evidencias, intrinsecas y extrinsecas, que nos permitan aproximarnos a la causa del suceso. En este trabajo, mediante la aproximacion a la causa de muerte del Individuo 6, trata de evidenciar la importancia de la interaccion entre la antropologia fisica y la arqueologia, con el fin de inferir en la interpretacion de un suceso de estas caracteristicas. EnglishAstorga (Leon, Spain) is one of the most ancient Christian bishopric in the Iberian Peninsula. There are not many remains form the Early Christian period in this geographical area. Nevertheless, the discovery of a church during the archaeological works around the Gothic Cathedral constitutes the oldest testimony of Christian building in the city. During these archaeological works, a human male body was found on the floor of the church. It was named Individual number 6, and his death is the principal aim of this paper. Distinguishing between perimorten and postmorten fractures is not an easy task due to the key macroscopic characteristics which can be appreciated in perimortem fractures to differentiate from the postmortem ones. However, a link is made between the time of dead and the lesion which is extremely difficult. The dampness of the bone has lasted after the time of death, thus showing similar properties such as fresh skeletal tissue. For this reason, it is necessary take care of intrinsic and extrinsic evidence in order to analyse the cause of death. In this work-study, an approximation of the cause of death of number 6, stresses the importance of the interaction between physical anthropology and archaeology with the aim of interpreting the events of these characteristics. euskaraPerimortem eta postmortem hausturak bereiztea ez da lan erraza; hori dela eta, perimortem haustura batean ikus daitezkeen ezaugarri makroskopikoak funtsezkoak izaten dira postmortem haustura batetik bereizteko garaian. Dena den, zaila izaten da heriotzaren unearen eta lesioaren arteko erlazio kasuistikoa zehaztea; izan ere, hezurraren hezetasunaren edukia hil ondoren luzaroan mantentzen da eta, horrenbestez, eskeleto-ehun freskoaren antzeko ezaugarriak mantentzen ditu eta beharrezkoa izaten da gertakariaren kausara gerturatzea ahalbidetuko liguketen beste ebidentzia batzuetan (intrintsekoak eta estrintsekoak) arreta jartzea. 6. banakoaren heriotza-kausara egindako gerturatze-lanaren bidez, antropologia fisikoaren eta arkeologiaren arteko elkarrekintzak duen garrantzia erakutsi nahi dugu ezaugarri horiek dituen gertakizun baten interpretazioan eragin ahal izateko
