Um estudo bioarqueológico: a contribuição dos métodos da antropologia forense e sua análise em indivíduos com diferentes temporalidades-poluição histórica e pré-histórica

Abstract

The Bioarchaeology is an area of knowledge which aims to analyze and reflect on thebiological and cultural information of human beings, through their skeletal remains. This study, with application of methods of Forensic Anthropology and Archaeology, allows the understanding of the characteristics of osteological morphology, enabling the determination of personal information such as gender, age, ethnicity and height, moreover, can clarify possible signs Paleopatologias and the evidence of the causemortem individuals. This research proposed the application of personal identification methods, evaluation of cultural event in sepulchral context and description of the results obtained during observations of bones with different times (historic and prehistoric). The historical material was produced from excavations conducted by the Survey and Monitoring Project of the Archaeological Heritage, in the city of São Cristóvão/SE, and the prehistoric material is original from Justino’s site, in Caninde de São Francisco / SE. The methodology was based on authors whose bibliographic references presented insightful methods that made possible the measurement of sexual diagnoses, age and paleopatológico. Yet, with the information obtained and recorded in the records properly prepared for analysis, it was possible to establish in human bone remains the minimum number of individuals (NMI). Thereby, after the study, it’s concluded that the application of forensic anthropological methods in esqueletlizados materials of different times has the same accuracy as the reliability of the results, however, it’s noteworthy that theconservation of the material at the time of analysis will determine the success research.
