Abstract

This paper presents the preliminary results obtained from morphoscopic analysis of the remains of an ossuary found in La Quemada, Zacatecas. Through this analysis we could detect ritual and ceremonial practices performed in individuals deposited in a pit as an ossuary. This information can contribute to a better understanding of ancient individuals from the north of Mesoamerica.
