Study of dental calculus in archaeological populations from northern Chile
Dental calculus and dental pathologies of 40 adults from 4 archaeological sites from the coastand valley of northern Chile were studied: MO 1/6, PLM-4, AZ-8 and CAM-9, analyzing 10individuals per site. In all of the dental calculus analyzed, phytolith and starches were found,except on the Late Archa...

description | Dental calculus and dental pathologies of 40 adults from 4 archaeological sites from the coastand valley of northern Chile were studied: MO 1/6, PLM-4, AZ-8 and CAM-9, analyzing 10individuals per site. In all of the dental calculus analyzed, phytolith and starches were found,except on the Late Archaic MO 1/6 site, which although did not present starch did presentphytoliths. These results are consistent with the macroscopical observation, where individualsbelonging to MO 1/6 site do not present dental cavities and generally have better dental healththan those individuals from the Late Intermediate and Late Period, both valley and the coastassociated with a mixed diet. Furthermore, a good concordance between grave goods plants andthe identified varieties in the dental calculus was observed in individuals from Late Intermediateand Late period sites. |

Se estudiaron el cálculo y las patologías dentales de 40 individuos adultos de sitios arqueológicosde la costa y valle del extremo norte de Chile: MO 1/6, PLM-4, AZ-8 y CAM-9, analizándose10 sujetos por cada sitio. En todos ellos se encontraron microrrestos de fitolitos y almidones,exceptuando el sitio Arcaico Tardío, MO 1/6, que aunque presentó fitolitos no presentó gránulosde almidón. Estos resultados concuerdan con lo observado macroscópicamente, en donde losindividuos pertenecientes al sitio MO 1/6 carecen de caries y presentan en general una mejorsalud oral que aquellos individuos del Intermedio Tardío y Tardío, tanto del valle como dela costa asociados a una dieta mixta. Además, se observó una buena concordancia entre lasplantas ofrendadas y las variedades detectadas en el cálculo dental de los individuos de los sitiosIntermedio Tardío y Tardío. 2019-04-26 2022-03-22T15:04:06Z 2022-03-22T15:04:06Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/976 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/80148 spa http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/976/3144 Derechos de autor 2019 Estudios Atacameños.
