Introduction
I am a paleoanthropologist at the National University of La Plata. My research is about the early peopling of the Americas as viewed from archaeological and bioarchaeological indicators within a chronological and paleoenvironmental framework. I am also interested in stable isotope analysis, hominin craniodental integration/modularity, skeletal-artifactual 3D geometric morphometrics, the genotype and phenotype map of craniodental traits in living and past human populations and paleogenomics.

Biocultural diversity of cotemporary South American populations has not been extensively studied; therefore patterns of phenotypic variation may be useful to understand their ongoing evolution. Thirty-seven dental non-metric traits in deciduous dentition were scored in two hundred dental casts which were obtained from four contemporary Colombian et...
The Atlantic slave trade moved more than 13 million Africans to American lands between the 15th and 19th centuries. Previous historical, linguistic, and social-cultural studies suggested a Western-Central Bantu African origin for the Colombian slaves; however, their precise provenance remains unclear. The present study investigates the variation of...
Native American societies suffered a profound deterioration of health under European colonization. In addition, diet diversity and nutritional quality decreased whereas workloads and violence increased considerably. Social and cultural consequences of such contact have been well documented by archaeology, history and ethno-history. However, the tru...
El estudio de las enfermedades dentales en grupos humanos antiguos busca reconstruir y recrear la forma de vida de las poblaciones antiguas relacionadas directamente con su estado de salud y enfermedad. Con este estudio se pretende conocer la prevalencia de las enfermedades dentales presentes en esta población, así como sus causas y su posible rela...
The materials used in this study are 170 teeth of 20 individuals 11male and 9 female, exhumed in 1996 during the excavations carried out in the north of Valle del Cauca in the Colombian Southwest, which represent us a population Quimbaya Tardío cultural tradition during an approximate date of 780 +-110 A.C. From a diachronic perspective is consider...

Abstract This study reports the occurrence frequency of 23 dental discrete traits of high genetic taxonomic significance in 20 individuals, 4 male, 1 female, and 15 Alófisos, from the prehispanic population of Obando, in the Valle del Cauca Department in Colombia, carrier of the Quimbaya Tardío Cultural Tradition who lived in the year 780 +-110 AD...
Dental Anthropology is Academically located within the human bone biology studies (Lukacs, 1997) or Ethnic Osteology. Its main goal is to recognize attributes in the teeth form which can help us create biocultural dynamics of human populations specifically related to Health-Illness State, Feeding Habits and Microevolutionary Transformations, relate...

The investigation of past human mobility and diet using stable isotope measurements of carbon (apatite and collagen), nitrogen, oxygen and strontium is a standardized practice in archaeology. Inter-sample comparisons derived from different labs are usually performed but is not clear if some differences emerging from the use of measurements obtained in distinct laboratories are negligible or on the contrary are significant.
