EXAMINANDO LA VIDA DE UN INDIVIDUO DE SOLCOR 3, SAN PEDRO DEATACAMA: COMBINANDO LA BI0ARQUE0L0GÃA Y LA QUÃMICA ARQUEOLÃGICA
Detailed life history information using multiple lines of evidence including the identification of geographic origins, health, and body use indicators, can be used
to elucidate the complex process of acculturation in the San Pedro de Atacama oases of northern Chile during the Middle Horizon. This paper presents the results of bioarchaeological and archaeological chemical analyses of the skeletal remains of an adult male (tomb 50, catalog number 1948) from the cemetery of Solcor 3 (ca. AD 500-900). Strontium isotope ratios in human tooth enamel reveal information ...
