CLV3, UNA INHUMACIÓN DEL HOLOCENO TARDÍO INICIAL EN EL CERRO DE LOS VIEJOS (DEPARTAMENTO CALEU CALEU, PROVINCIA DE LA PAMPA). ANÁLISIS BIOARQUEOLÓGICO Y CONTEXTUAL.

The settlement process of the south-central Western Pampa shows weak and scattered signs during the Early Holocene, a greater human incidence during the Middle Holocene and a progressive colonization process from the initial Late Holocene, around 4000-3000 years BP. The bioarchaeological record has been one of the clearest indicators of this process. In this paper we present the osteobiography of a burial called CLV3, recovered in Cerro de Los Viejos Archaeological Locality (SE of La Pampa province), which has a date of 3410±20 years BP. It is an adult male individual who was in good health. His lifestyle involved moderate mechanical stress and the intensive use of the masticatory apparatus. He had a local residence, a terrestrial diet, and shows circular cranial deformation. The characteristics of CLV3 reflect social and cultural patterns observed at the macro-regional scale.
