Nonetheless, the number of paleopathological cases reported is very small. Most of them were identified in Europe, and only two came from South American individuals. The purpose of this paper is to document the lesions identified in a pre-Columbian (around 1400 AD) individual that corresponds to a middle adult male from Pukara de la Cueva, Jujuy province, in the Northwest region of Argentina. The skeleton was found disarticulated but it is nearly complete and well preserved. The general character of the lesions observed is predominantly proliferative in nature, but osteolytic and mixed patterns were also detected in both axial and appendicular skeleton. Macroscopically, this overall pattern and the distribution of the lesions are compatible with a secondary cancer. Radiological examination showed multiple dense and irregular areas in several bones. The lesions visible by external inspection and by radiographs are in concordance with changes which are documented to occur in the course of prostatic carcinoma. The exuberance and dissemination of the lesions all over the skeleton led infer individual cachexy implying that he would have been assisted by his family and/or social group during the chronic process. Different carcinogenic risk factors associated to this kind of disease are discussed. This analysis adds new evidence of pre- Columbian carcinoma in South American native populations, as knowledge from clinical cases is considered to delineate a differential diagnosis. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/15085 Título: Panorama sobre el desarrollo de la agricultura prehispánica en la Quebrada de la Cueva (Departamento de Humahuaca, provincia de Jujuy); Panorama about the development of pre-hispanic agriculture in la Cueva Gorge (Department of humahuaca, province of Jujuy); Panorama sobre o desenvolvimento da agricultura pré-hispânica na Quebrada de la Cueva (Departamento de humahuaca, província de jujuy) Autor: Ramundo, Paola Silvia Resumen: Resumen: En la quebrada de La Cueva existió un clima particular que favoreció el desarrollo de una importante infraestructura agrícola prehispánica que varió en sus distintos sectores (inferior, medio y superior). Campos, “canchones”, terrazas y sistemas de canalización de agua, caracterizan el sector inferior y medio, mientras que el superior presenta menos campos de cultivo y la práctica ganadera prehispánica fue más importante. Una más grande amplitud y exposición al viento, así como la mayor altura del sector superior, marcarían estas diferencias. Además, en los primeros sectores las estructuras agrícolas están asociadas a “pukaras” y “pueblos viejos”, sitios que estarían ausentes en el área superior. Las prospecciones y estudios de más de una década de investigaciones propias muestran que en los 46 km de la quebrada de La Cueva existen variados y múltiples espacios agrícolas prehispánicos que la distinguen, y que evidencian la importan-te inversión en esta práctica, cuya cronología aún debemos determinar.; Abstract: In La Cueva gorge there was a particular climate that favored the development of an important pre-Hispanic agricultural infrastructure, which varied in its diffe-rent sectors (lower, middle and upper). Fields, “canchones”, terraces and water canalization systems characterize the lower and middle sectors, while the upper one has fewer cultivated fields, while the pre-Hispanic livestock practice was more important. A higher amplitude and exposure to the wind, as well as the greater height of the upper sector, would mark these differences. Furthermore, in the first sectors, the agricultural structures are associated with “pukaras” and “pueblos viejos”, sites that would be absent in the upper sector. The prospects and studies of more than a decade of own research show that in the 46 km of La Cueva gorge, there are varied and multiple pre-Hispanic agricultu-ral spaces that distinguish it, and expose the important investment in this practice, whose chronology we still have to do.; Resumo: No quebrada de La Cueva existia um clima particular que favorecia o desenvolvimento de uma importante infraestrutura agrícola pré-hispânica, que variava em seus diferentes setores (baixo, médio e alto). Campos, “canchones”, terraços e sistemas de canalização de água caracterizam os setores inferior e médio, enquanto o superior tem menos campos cultivados, e a prática pecuária pré-hispânica era mais importante. Uma maior amplitude e exposição ao vento, bem como a maior altura do setor superior, marcariam essas diferenças. Além disso, nos primeiros setores, as estruturas agrícolas estão associadas a “pukaras” e “pueblos viejos”, locais que estariam ausentes no setor superior. As perspectivas e estudos de mais de uma década de pesquisas próprias mostram que nos 46 km da quebrada de La Cueva, existem variados e múltiplos espaços agrícolas pré-hispânicos que a distinguem e mostram o importante investimento nesta prática, cuja cronologia ainda temos que fazer. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/12482 Título: Eduardo Casanova : sus teorías y métodos arqueológicos para el estudio del sector norte de Quebrada de Humahuaca; Eduardo Casanova : his theories and archaeological methods for the study of the north sector of Quebrada de Humahuaca Autor: Ramundo, Paola Silvia Resumen: Resumen: Se analizan las teorías y métodos que Eduardo Casanova aplicó en sus trabajos de campo en el sector norte de la Quebrada de Humahuaca (entre el Angosto de Perchel y el nacimiento de la Quebrada de Humahuaca, Jujuy). Estas investigaciones se desarrollaron en los años treinta del siglo XX y abarcaron el estudio de los sitios Pukara de La Cueva, Pukara Morado, Pueblo Viejo del Morado, Pueblo Viejo de La Cueva, Coctaca, Pukara de Humahuaca y Pukara de Calete. En las publicaciones del autor sobre dichos sitios se plasma su visión respecto a la existencia de una “Cultura Humahuaca” con uniformidad cultural, planteo que perduró por años en otros investigadores del sector. Además, el análisis de dichas producciones nos permite evaluar las metodologías y técnicas arqueo-antropológicas aplicadas en aquella época. Los aspectos que aquí se discuten y analizan constituyen otro aporte al estudio del desarrollo de la historia de la arqueología del Noroeste argentino.; Abstract: The theories and methods used by Eduardo Casanova in his field work in the northern sector of the Humahuaca Gorge (between Angosto de Perchel and the source of the Humahuaca Gorge, Jujuy) are analyzed. These surveys took place in the 1930s and encompassed the following sites: Pukara de La Cueva, Pukara Morado, Pueblo Viejo del Morado, Pueblo Viejo de La Cueva, Coctaca, Pukara de Humahuaca, and Pukara de Calete. The author’s vision regarding the existence of a culturally uniform “Humahuaca Culture” is reflected on what he published on these sites; I argue that this interpretation persisted for years in other researchers of the same area. In addition, by analyzing these productions we can evaluate the archaeo‑anthropological methodologies and techniques used then. The aspects under discussion and analysis represent another contribution to the study of the development of the history of archeology in the Argentine Northwest. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/8895 Título: La ciencia en manos femeninas : biografía de Juliane Dillenius, la primera antropóloga física americana Autor: Ramundo, Paola Silvia Resumen: En el ámbito científico de inicios del siglo XX, predominantemente masculino, la imagen en que unas manos miden un cráneo prehispánico revela una blusa con puntillas de la figura casi invisible de quien fuera la primera mujer que obtuvo un doctorado con un tema de antropología física a nivel americano: la doctora Juliane Antonia Dillenius. 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z
