The osteological collections deposited in museums, can provide important information with its degree of preservation, despite the lack of methodological rigor in their recovery. While the skeletal remains from systematic excavations and rescues are more complete but worse preserved. The aim of this work is to integrate information from bioarchaeological studies in samples from both sets, obtained from museum collections and those from systematic excavations and rescues. We take bioarchaeological analyzing samples to the site Fuerte Alto (Calchaqui Valley, Salta), from the Regional Development Period (PDR). It is about 16 skulls deposited in the Ethnographic Museum J.B Ambrosetti and 5 skeletons recovered in a rescue in 2006. We presented the results of the study of human skeletal remains, including composition and structure of the sample, deformatorias practices and evaluation of metabolic and mechanical stress.Downloads
