    Minería y dependencia: una visión bioarqueológica desde una hacienda mineral de la época virreinal (Perú, siglos XVI-XIX)
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-10-11)
    The systems of asymmetrical dependency are those of coercive social relations, in which some actors control the actions or access to resources of others, and emic conceptions regarding power, inequality, work, experiences, and emotions are shared. The European invasion of America in the 16th century established a system with these characteristics. This type of relationship was strongly established in the field of metal production. This paper presents some results of a bioarchaeological investigation of a group of skeletons of people buried in a chapel located in a mineral hacienda from the Viceregal period. The impacts on health are analyzed through trauma, malformations, and infections in people of different sex and ancestry. The results show a correlation between the position in the asymmetrical dependency system and the types of fractures, but not with the malformations and infections.

    Climate Change and El Niño Events in the Ancient Andes: Integrating Archaeological and Biorchaeological Perspectives
    (Springer Nature, 2026-01-01)
    Our primary goals for this paper include stimulating further interdisciplinary studies of El Niño events, especially those that combine archaeological and bioarchaeological knowledge with that derived from environmental sciences. In so doing, we review recent archaeological and bioarchaeological studies of El Niño events in both northern and southern Peru, regions with distinct susceptibilities to such profound climatic events but likely to exhibit similar human responses. In addition, we illustrate the significance of studying the past in mitigating the impact of El Niño events today. We also note the ways early colonial policies exacerbated the impact of El Niño in cultures where earlier coping strategies were overlooked.

    (Re)contextualizando una colección de cráneos: a un siglo de las excavaciones de Julio C. Tello y Alfred Kroeber en Cerro de Oro (550-1600 d.C.), valle de Cañete, Perú
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-08-12)
    This report aims to present the results of a recontextualisation of a collection of 24 human crania held at the Museo Nacional de Arqueología, Antropología e Historia del Perú, which were originally recovered at the site of Cerro de Oro in 1925. First, the report explains that its name notwithstanding, the collection was actually excavated by Julio C. Tello and not by Alfred Kroeber. Second, the report includes data on the biological profile and the cephalic modifications found in 16 individuals from the of Cerro de Oro occupation (A.D. 550–950). This study aims to preserve the legacy of Tello’s excavations and to show the importance of studying museographical collections. The paper is likewise a contribution to our knowledge of the pre-Hispanic populations of Cerro de Oro insofar as it supplements studies based on more recent excavations.
