Abstract

Recent research in the province of Córdoba (Argentina) province suggests that between 1000 and 500 years BP a decline in the quality of life of the population together with population growth and a more intensive exploitation of the environment would have occurred. This would have led to the emergence of potential social conflicts. However, the archaeological and bioarchaeological records have not yet offered evidence situations. In this context, the aim of this paper is to present the first findings of four individuals, with bone lesions compatible with archaeological contexts and situations of interpersonal violence, three of them dated by AMS at the end of the late Holocene. The bioarchaeological, contextual and chronological information, and a description of the injuries and paleopathological analysis of each of the individuals are presented.
