Analysis main disciplines

Physical Anthropology

During a lot of time, in excavations of necropolis and burials, it is given certain privilege at the structures and dowries study. In the actuality, the advances in this discipline had allow that the study of dental and bones human remains, no only have importance in prehistoric times (with the consequent value that obtain this remains within human evolution study). The Paleoanthropology allows obtaining data like sex and person age, the study of their illness and way of life and the population morphological analyses.

The Physical Anthropology basically it fixes in two objectives: knowing the human lineages evolution and the obtaining of paleobiological data.

The sex and age determination are indispensable data in all interpretative tentative, so in archaeology of death like in Physical Anthropology. These data allows deduce results about the society structure, and more concretely about the specialization or structuring of the funeral spaces. Inside the same discipline, the paleopathology analyze the illness marks upon the bones that had affected human populations.

Another interesting investigation field of paleoanthropology is the diet study of preterites populations. For take this analyses it is use the dental remains of this populations. All the consuming food and the way that are masticate and manipulate wear away the dentition. This wastage is visible at microscope level and his study allows infer the type of this population diet. For take those analyses it is necessary to examinee the tooth with the Scanning Electron Microscope. The using technique imply to metalize the observe sample. Therefore, to suffer the skeleton remains the minimum damage we realize high qualities replicas of the tooth, and are this, the ones that are analyzed in the Scanning Electron Microscope. According to the type and morphology of the wear features trove, we can infer the preterits populations diet contents.
