Emphasis upon publication as a means of “diffusing knowledge” was expressed by the first Secretary of
the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the
following statement: “It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries
in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge.” This theme of basic
research has been adhered to through the years in thousands of titles issued in series publications under the
Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing
with the following active series:
Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology
Smithsonian Contributions to Botany
Smithsonian Contributions to History and Technology
Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences
Smithsonian Contributions to Museum Conservation
Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology
Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology
In these series, the Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press (SISP) publishes small papers and full-scale
monographs that report on research and collections of the Institution’s museums and research centers. The
Smithsonian Contributions Series are distributed via exchange mailing lists to libraries, universities, and
similar institutions throughout the world.

Paleopathology in
Southern South America:
Recent Advances and
Future Challenges
Jorge A. Suby1* and Leandro H. Luna2
ABSTRACT. Despite disparities among countries, paleopathology experienced a remarkable development in South America in recent years, including current theoretical approaches and new
methodological procedures. More specialists in bone and dental paleopathology offered relevant
information in local, regional, and international journals and conferences. Some southern South
American countries, particularly Chile and Argentina, are leaders in the recent progress of paleopathology in the Americas. This paper summarizes the recent past and present of paleopathological
research in southern South America and offers additional considerations about the challenges that
need to be confronted in the near future.

INTRODUCTION
As in other regions in the world, paleopathology has seen considerable development
in South America since the second half of the twentieth century. New theoretical and
methodological approaches have been introduced to the study of social, cultural, and
312

biological influences on the health of past societies both before
and during the colonial period. Primary results of this progress
in paleopathological research include a greater number of specialists in interpreting evidence of past health; more scientific
studies being undertaken at local, regional, and worldwide levels
and more numerous international collaborations, which usually
result in a higher quality of resources, broader knowledge and
more broadly accepted interpretations.
South America is a large and heterogeneous continent with
marked differences in economic and educational status between
countries. In the past, the continent was inhabited by numerous
human societies with profound biological and cultural differences, from highly stratified societies like the Incan Empire in the
Andes, to small bands of hunter-gatherers like Selk´nam in Tierra
del Fuego (Steward, 1963; Poole, 2008). This variability means
that research in paleopathology is also amply diverse, depending
on available resources and focusing on different aspects of past
populations according to local and academic interests.
In this chapter, we describe and analyze the current status of
paleopathology in Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina, the southernmost countries of South America. As is usual
in this kind of review, it is a great task to gather all the published
results from every country. For that reason, we opted to include
only the most relevant investigations, particularly those reported
during the last three decades, although in some cases previous
research is included considering its importance in later local developments. It is not our intention to summarize the history of
paleopathology in these countries, since this approach was partially or fully conducted in the recent past (for example, Castro
and Aspillaga, 2004; Guillén, 2012; Mendonça de Souza and
Guichón, 2012). On the contrary, we offer an integrated interpretation of recent investigations and, in our opinion, the most
important challenges that paleopathology will deal with in this
part of the world in the near future.
PALEOPATHOLOGY IN CHILE
Chilean paleopathology is one of the most developed in
southern South America. Past populations from northern Chile
received extraordinary attention, stimulating the current paleopathological perspective (Verano and Lombardi, 1999). This is
probably because stratified and unequal Andean societies developed in this region over the course of about two millennia, and
its climate promotes preservation of a great number of mummified and skeletal remains (Verano, 1997). A considerable number
of studies were also performed on the remains recovered from
southern Patagonia, including current Chilean and Argentinian territories. Regrettably, populations from other Chilean regions received less attention (Castro and Aspillaga, 2004). Some
reviews of the most relevant results were presented by Munizaga (1974), Allison (1984), Moreno et al. (1993), Castro et al.
(1997), Verano (1997), Castro and Aspillaga (2004), and Rothhammer and Llop (2004).
The studies in northern Chile were mainly centered on
skeletal and mummified remains from the Arica and Tarapacá
regions. As in other South American countries, like Peru or Ecuador, paleopathological research was initially led by foreign
physicians and physical anthropologists, such as Aleš Hrdlička,
Marvin Allison, Enrique Gerszten and Arthur Aufderheide,
who stimulated the study of several collections of skeletons and
mummies, offering much relevant information about cultural
and biological aspects related to human health in pre- and postHispanic times. Most of these investigations continued with
modern approaches by local or foreign researchers (Verano and
Lombardi, 1999).
The studies of health mainly focused on evidence of several infectious diseases in northern Chilean populations. The
detection of remains with signs of tuberculosis (Arriaza et al.,
1995) was extremely important to explain its presence in preColumbian Andean populations. Chagas disease (Guhl et al.,
1997, 1999, 2000; Ferreira et al., 2000; Aufderheide et al., 2004;
Orellana-Halkyer and Arriaza, 2010), treponematosis (Allison
et al., 1982; Standen and Arriaza, 2000a), leishmaniasis (CostaJunqueira et al., 2009; Marsteller et al., 2011; Costa-Junqueira
and Llagostera, 2014), pulmonary diseases like pneumonia (Aufderheide et al., 2002; Aufderheide et al., 2008), and non-specific
infectious diseases (Kelley and Lytle, 1995; Aspillaga et al., 2006;
Varela et al., 2006; Tótora Da-Glória et al., 2011) were also reported in several archaeological contexts. Paleoparasitological
studies of internal and external parasites were also conducted in
the last several decades (Ferreira et al., 1984; Goncalves et al.,
2003; Reinhard and Urban, 2003; Arriaza et al., 2010a, 2012,
2013, 2014; Araújo et al., 2011; Rodríguez et al., 2011).
As in other stratified and highly populated societies, trauma
was frequently evaluated in populations from northern Chile,
where evidence of accidental, ritual-based, and violent injuries
were studied, mostly from a paleoepidemiological and biocultural approach (Costa-Junqueira et al., 1998; Standen and Arriaza, 2000b; Lessa and Mendonça de Souza, 2004, 2006, 2007;
Rosado and Vernacchio-Wilson, 2006; Torres-Rouff and Costa
Junqueira, 2006; Varela et al., 2006; Standen et al., 2010; TorresRouff, 2011; Castelleti Dellepiane et al., 2014; Lessa, 2014;
Lessa and Gaspar, 2014; Pacheco and Retamal, 2014). These papers show a process of increasing violence in certain strategically
located areas of the landscape (such as the Atacama desert during the Middle Horizon [600–950 A.D.] and Late Intermediate
Period [950–1400 A.D.], Lessa and Mendonça de Souza, 2004,
2006; Torres-Rouff and Costa Junqueira, 2006; Standen et al.,
2010; Torres Rouff, 2011, Lessa, 2014), which affected individuals differently by sex, age, and social hierarchy, with traumatic
lesions being more prevalent in young and middle adult males.
The effects of arsenic poisoning on the health of past human
populations from Atacama was first suggested three decades
ago, in studies showing teratogenic consequences on skeletal
and mummified remains (Figueroa et al., 1988; Silva-Pinto et al.,
2010; Boston and Arriaza, 2009; Arriaza et al., 2010b; Byrne et
al., 2010). Other studies with important consequences analyzed
NUMBER 51
the impact of diseases related to activity patterns in northern
Chilean populations, including auditory exostosis (Standen et al.,
1995, 1997; Ponce, 2010), osteochondritis dissecans (Kothari et
al., 2009; Ponce, 2010), and osteoarthrosis (Silva-Pinto et al.,
2013). Pathological conditions such as neoplastic (Sawyer et al.,
1988, 1990; Gerszten and Allison, 1991), neurological (Gerszten
and Martífinez, 1995; Appenzeller et al., 2000; Gerszten et al.,
2001; Carod-Artal and Vázquez-Cabrera, 2004), and oral diseases (Linossier et al., 1988; Rosado, 1998; Costa-Junqueira et
al., 2004; Meller et al., 2009; Hubbe et al., 2012; Watson et al.,
2013), as well as related paleodemographic analyses (Arriaza et
al., 1988; Quevedo et al., 2000, 2003), also were documented
and offered very valuable contributions to the comprehension of
the variability of human adaptations.
In contrast, studies of health in past populations from
southern Chile were less thoroughly analyzed, mostly with bioarchaeological or physical anthropological approaches. A review
of this kind of information in southern Chile and Argentina, reported during the last three decades, was recently published by
Suby (2014a). In general, due to the absence of cemeteries in prehistorical times and areas of inhumation with low numbers of
individuals, mostly one per site, many researchers have studied
skeletal collections from different archaeological sites, with or
without chronological and geographical information. In contrast
to the studies conducted in the north of the country, these analyses were mainly focused on the general health status of human
populations. Pérez-Pérez and Lalueza Fox (1992), Guichón
(1994), Aspillaga et al. (1999, 2006), Morano and Bucarey
(2009), and Castro and Aspillaga (1991) described or quantified metabolic, oral, and articular diseases in human collections
from southern Chile. Moreover, Constantinescu (1999, 1997)
presented descriptive analyses of entheseal changes and articular
disease in a skeletal collection from the insular and continental
portions of the Magellan region. Paleopathological analyses of
anemia (Suby, 2014b) and vertebral joint disease (Suby, 2014c)
were carried out in skeletons recovered in the southern territories
of both Chile and Argentina.
Several descriptive and quantitative analyses of oral health,
metabolic disease, trauma, and osteoarthrosis in human remains
were published during the last decade, such as the studies of
the skeletons recovered in Cabo Nose (Alfonso-Durruty et al.,
2011), Cañadón Leona 5 (L’Heureux and Amorosi, 2009), and
Cerro Sota (L’Heureux and Amorosi, 2010), located in the Magellan region of Chile. Regarding infectious diseases, Saez (2008)
documented possible cases of tuberculosis in native populations
from Chiloé as a result of contact with European settlers during
the colonial period and suggested that this disease was a primary
cause of morbidity and death.
PALEOPATHOLOGY IN BOLIVIA
Paleopathological research in Bolivia is much less developed. A review of the most important paleopathological analyses
•
313
was summarized by Rio Dalenz and Vincenty (2007). As with
others from southern Peru and northern Chile, remains from
western Bolivia were initially studied by foreign scientists in the
nineteenth century. Bandelier (1904) recovered and anthropologically studied trephined skulls from Aymará sites, which were
sent to the American Museum of Natural History (New York)
and were later studied by Aleš Hrdlička. Most current paleopathological studies continue to focus on human remains from
the Aymara populations, mainly through studies of mummies.
For example, Suarez Morales (1967) reported serologic analyses
of 10 mummies housed in the National Museum of Archaeology
in La Paz, all corresponding to blood group 0, which is similar
to other findings in Latin America. More recently, Mendonça de
Souza et al. (2008) studied a mummified body of a seven-year-old
child, with the possibility of perimortem trauma and tuberculosis. Moreover, Vincenty (2004) offered descriptive macroscopic,
radiological, and histological results of five pre-Inca mummies
from Potosí and Oruro, and identified cases of thyroid goiter,
congenital anomalies (probable atrophy), infant hydrocephaly
with trepanation, scoliosis, fibroma, and a sharp trauma with
hemorrhage. Virus HTLV-1—responsible for leukemia and lymphoma in adults and for tropical spastic paraparesia—was molecularly identified in bone marrow of mummies of ca. 1500 bp
housed in the Archaeological Museum R. P. Gustavo Le Paige of
San Pedro de Atacama (Li et al., 1999).
Céspedes and Villegas (1976) visually and radiographically
studied 418 pre-Columbian non-adult and adult skulls housed
in the National Museum of Archaeology of La Paz, Regional
Archaeological Museum of Tiwanaku, and Anthropological Museum Eduardo López Rivas of Oruro, in order to identify dental
and cranial pathologies. The authors described and quantified
several types of dental anomalies, such as transpositions, supernumerary teeth, teeth displaying giantism and dwarfism, retentions, caries, dental calculus, granulomas, antemortem tooth
loss, and attrition. They also described trepanations and the frequencies of wormian bones.
The study of infectious diseases was also explored in Bolivian remains. Paleoparasitological studies mention that Chagas
disease—an infectious illness with great implications for sanitation in South America even today—originated in the Bolivian
highlands as a consequence of the adoption of sedentary habits by prehistoric human groups (Araújo et al., 2013). Moreover, a study performed by a German–Bolivian team on 123
pre-Hispanic skeletons from the Loma Salvatierra site in the
northern lowlands (Prümers et al., 2012) showed a high degree
of degenerative joint disease, absence of evidence of violence,
frequent indicators of anemia (i.e., cribra orbitalia and porotic
hyperostosis) and signs of bone infections. Two of those skeletons showed sabre-shin tibiae and signs of Hutchinson’s disease in the incisors, which was interpreted as being caused by
a treponemal disease, possibly venereal syphilis, based on morphological and molecular results (Prümers et al., 2012). Ponce
Sanjinés (1982) interpreted humped figures of ceramic iconography from the Americas as cases of vertebral tuberculosis. Finally,
314
•
SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY
some paleopathological analyses of camelid and bovine remains
recovered from colonial sites in Potosí showed degenerative
changes to phalanges, vertebrae, tarsals, limb elements, and ribs
(Defrance, 2008). Most of the scarce paleopathological research
in the country is primarily descriptive in nature, although this
trend is starting to be reversed through the development of more
integrative and interpretative research.
PALEOPATHOLOGY IN PARAGUAY
Despite the many anthropological studies on populations of
the Aché and other related ethnic groups (e.g. Hill et al., 1984,
1985, 1987, 1997, 2007; Bribiescas, 2001; Gurven et al., 2001;
Hurtado et al., 2003; Tsuneto et al., 2003; Walker and Hill, 2003;
Dornelles et al., 2004; Schmitt et al., 2004), very little paleopathological data are available for indigenous groups from Paraguay.
Among the most important is that of a postcranial skeleton of a
15-year-old girl known as “Damiana,” who was kidnapped after
the assassination of her family in 1896 and died of tuberculosis.
In 2010, the Natural Science Museum of La Plata, Argentina, returned her remains to the Aché community. Later, the skull of this
skeleton was identified in the anatomical collection of Charité,
in Berlin (Koel-Abt and Winkelmann, 2013). Paleopathological analyses were conducted, showing signs of stress-like cribra
orbitalia and dental enamel hypoplasia, as well as endocranial
impressions that were interpreted as the result of tuberculous
meningitis (Koel-Abt and Winkelmann, 2013).
PALEOPATHOLOGY IN URUGUAY
Anthropological disciplines, including paleopathology, are
quite recent in Uruguay (Figueiro, 2014). The main focus of skeletal research comprises mortuary practices, age and sex estimation, diet and molecular analyses for studying biological distance
among populations, and in some cases, descriptive references of
bone and dental pathologies (for example, see Sans et al., 1997,
2012; Moreno et al., 2014; chapters in López Mazz and Sans,
1999). However, systematic paleopathological studies, as in Paraguay and Bolivia, are still uncommon.
The studies produced in the last twenty years were mainly
concerned with establishing the health status of past populations. Most studies used samples from east and west regions
of the country, analyzing oral stress indicators (e.g., caries and
linear enamel hypoplasia), signs of non-specific bone infections,
anemia (cribra orbitalia and porotic hyperostosis), Harris lines,
and muscular stress markers (Portas and Sans, 1995; Sans et al.,
1997; Sans, 1999; Calabria, 2001). Some studies on osteoarthrosis, Schmorl’s nodes (Sans, 1999) and trauma (Pintos and Bracco,
1999; Gascue, 2009; Gianotti and López Mazz, 2009; Cabrera et
al., 2014) were also reported, most of which are mainly descriptive because of small sample size. However, efforts for systematization appeared in recent years (for example see Figueiro, 2014).
The general trends identified show few differences between sexes,
with an increase in mechanic and oral pathologies with age and
trauma through time (Gianotti and López Mazz, 2009; Cabrera
et al., 2014). Some exceptions are highlighted considering oral
health for late pre-Hispanic societies, with variations inferred in
diet composition between males and females, and among different individuals buried in the same site (Sans, 1999). Finally,
a recent contribution from forensic anthropology about rights
violations also adds relevant information about perimortem lesions (López Mazz et al., 2014).
PALEOPATHOLOGY IN ARGENTINA
As in Chile, paleopathological studies of past populations
from Argentina have seen remarkable progress since 1980, especially during the last two decades. In contrast to research developed
in northern Chile, research in Argentina is strongly influenced by
the North American bioarchaeological approach (e.g., Buikstra,
1977; Buikstra and Cook, 1980; Buikstra and Beck, 2006; Cook
and Powell, 2006), probably due to the development of important and numerous long-term archaeological programs, as well as
the number of grants awarded in Argentina. In fact, most of the
students working in paleopathology in the country are archaeologists. For that reason, taphonomical and mortuary issues are
constantly included as part of paleopathological studies (Aranda
and Luna, 2012; see chapters in Luna et al., 2014a).
Mendonça de Souza and Guichón (2012) offer a review of
the history of paleopathology in Brazil and Argentina. Also, the
most recent advances of bioarchaeological studies of past human
populations from Argentina were recently summarized (Aranda
and Luna, 2012; Luna and Suby, 2014). As described in those
articles, paleopathological research received increasing attention
during the last two decades as part of bioarchaeological studies, focusing on the health of past populations from a biocultural approach in all regions of Argentina. Many of them include
modern methodological and analytical procedures, together with
regional and anthropological approximations. The investigations
are very prolific, so the articles mentioned in this section are only
a small part of the whole body of paleopathological research
in the country. In the last two decades, Argentinean research in
paleopathology reached international scientific standards, and,
as a consequence of that, it began to gain recognition in the rest
of the world. As an example of this process, many studies were
published in international journals, encompassing the analysis
of multiple lines of evidence, including those from the northwest
(Arrieta et al., 2014; Seldes and Botta, 2014; Luna et al., 2015;
Gheggi, 2016), the center of the country (Fabra and González,
2015; Fabra and Salega, 2016), the western center (Bernal et al.,
2007; Gómez Otero and Novellino, 2011; Ponce and Novellino,
2014), the Pampa (Luna et al., 2008; Luna and Aranda, 2014;
Scabuzzo, 2012), northern Patagonia (Flensborg, 2011a; Flensborg, et al., 2013; Gordon, 2015), the central coast of Patagonia
(Gomez Otero and Novellino, 2011), and southern Patagonia
NUMBER 51
(Suby and Guichón, 2009; Suby et al., 2009, 2017; Suby, 2014b,
2014c). Paleopathological studies in all these regions were usually oriented to the study of the health status of past human
populations through metabolic and oral diseases, in some cases
considering current theoretical and methodological approaches
and integrating different variables on a comparative perspective
(García Guraieb, 2006; Seldes, 2006; Luna, 2008; Suby et al.,
2013; Suby, 2014b; González Baroni, 2014).
In addition, some studies were aimed at specific diseases.
Tuberculosis was suggested in pre-Columbian remains from the
northwest and south of Argentina (Arrieta et al., 2011, 2014;
García Guraieb 2006; Guichón et al. 2015) and treponematosis in southern Patagonia (Garcia Guraieb et al., 2009; Castro
et al., 2008), as well as cases of osteomyelitis (Flensborg et al.,
2013). Degenerative joint disease of the vertebrae was specifically studied in the center of the country (Fabra et al., 2014) and
in Patagonia (Suby, 2014b). Oral pathologies were frequently
studied in different areas of the country, including analyses of
oral pathologies such as caries, periodontal disease, abscesses,
calculus, antemortem tooth loss, dental wear (L’Heureux, 2002;
Novellino, 2002; Novellino et al., 2004; Bernal et al., 2007;
Menéndez, 2010; Bernal and Luna, 2011; Flensborg, 2011a;
Gómez Otero and Novellino, 2011; Luna and Bernal, 2011;
Gheggi, 2012; Miranda, 2012; García Guraieb and Maldonado,
2014; Luna and Aranda, 2014; Miranda and Fuchs, 2014) and
physiological stress (enamel hypoplasia; e.g., Novellino and Gil,
2004; Luna and Aranda, 2010). In general terms, the results are
compatible with trends identified in other regions of the world:
•
315
hunter-gatherer societies show high wear rates, periodontic reactions, calculus, antemortem tooth loss, and low prevalence of
caries; on the other hand, individuals from agricultural societies
exhibit lower dental wear and a higher frequency of caries. In
both types of societies, differences between sexes are minimal.
In recent years, systematic research about violence patterns
from a paleopathological perspective were fulfilled in different
regions of Argentina (Barrientos and Gordon, 2004; García Guraieb et al., 2007; Flensborg, 2011b; Gheggi and Seldes, 2012;
González Baroni, 2013; Berón, 2014; Gordón, 2015; Politis et
al., 2014). Finally, analyses about neoplastic (Luna et al., 2008,
2015; Figure 1) and congenital diseases (Fabra and Salega, 2016)
are very scarce but have been recently published. The comparative results usually show striking differences between huntergatherer and agricultural societies, as expected, but also a high
variability within them, related to sex and age variation in some
of the variables considered, mainly degenerative joint disease
and oral health. Some divergent trends were identified related
to the second line of analysis (e.g., Miranda, 2012; Fabra et al.,
2014; Luna and Aranda, 2014), which offer support for the high
diversity of each mode of subsistence. In this sense, more integrative paleopathological research is needed in order to better comprehend the different pathways covered by the pre-Columbian
societies in various temporal and spatial settings.
In contrast to studies of skeletonized remains, mummified
remains were much less frequently analyzed (Fernandez et al.,
1999; Previgliano et al., 2003; Wilson et al., 2007, 2013; Corthals et al., 2012), contrasting with the long-standing tradition

Argentina, showing nodular and irregular bone outgrowth probably corresponding to metastatic prostate cancer (see Luna
et al., 2015). Photo: Leandro Luna.

of mummy studies from Peru and Chile. Identified modern skeletal collections, such as those of Chacarita (Bosio et al., 2012) and
Lambre (Salceda et al., 2009, 2012), are being formed with individuals who died during the twentieth century and offer relevant
results to the study of bone pathologies (Plischuk and Salceda,
2011; Plischuk, 2012; Plischuk et al., 2014), sex and age-atdeath methods (García Mancuso, 2013; Desántolo, 2013), and
differential preservation (Luna et al., 2012).
Directly related to paleopathology, forensic anthropology,
working on the documentation of human rights violations, has
had an outstanding development in Argentina since the 1980s
as a result of the need to identify skeletal remains of individuals
assassinated during the last military government of 1976–1983.
The Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (Equipo Argentino
de Antropología Forense [EAAF]) is recognized worldwide as
one of the pioneers and leaders in this field, also contributing
to the identification of skeletal pathologies (EAAF, 1990, 2009;
Olmo and Salado Puerto, 2008).
THE PRESENT STATE AND FUTURE
CHALLENGES IN SOUTHERN SOUTH
AMERICAN PALEOPATHOLOGY
Paleopathological studies of southern South American populations made significant progress during the last century, with
a great potential to continue contributing important data to the
understanding of ancient diseases. Changes in theoretical approximations led to tremendous improvements in social and biological explanations from a bioarchaeological perspective since
the 1980s. The examination of stratified and non-stratified societies from different historical contexts of the sub-continent offers invaluable insights about the evolution of many diseases that
affect humankind and its relationship with social and biological
factors in the present. Some evidence of that can be found in the
important discoveries about tuberculosis during the 1970s and
1980s in South American remains, which forced reconsideration
of the spread of this complex disease through time. In the same
way, the information provided by the studies of mummies form
Chile and Peru were, and still are, central to understanding some
diseases only present in such remains.
As in other regions of the world, paleopathology had a
promising beginning in the late nineteenth century. However, in
some countries, studies were performed by foreign scholars, with
or without local professional participation, and sometimes with
relatively little involvement in the social problems of the working areas. In many cases, research was not sustained during the
majority of the twentieth century. More constant and valuable
data derived from fully scientific approaches began to emerge
only in the last three or four decades. As a result, some countries
show scarce paleopathological production, especially within the
international literature.
The bright side is that the twenty-first century offers new
opportunities to increase paleopathological research in South
America. In the first place, advances in internet communication
allow bridges to be built between distant researchers much more
easily than before. As a consequence, information travels and is
shared faster with anyone with enough interest, and collaborative research projects among researchers of different countries
from South America and all around the world is now a more
affordable possibility. Travel is not always necessary, and academic efforts can be integrated with economic resources. This
is a major issue for southern South American countries, whose
economic resources are usually lower in comparison to North
American and European countries.
During the last decade, new discussion forums were created.
The Paleopathology Association Meetings in South America
(PAMinSA) started in 2005 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and provided a great opportunity not only to show the regional scientific
research to foreign scholars, but also to spread paleopathological resources from more developed regions to others that need
encouragement for their emerging efforts. The participation of
internationally recognized specialists in paleopathology and
bioarchaeology surely provide significant help to promote these
meetings, and will probably be important to sustain them in the
future. Chile and Argentina were hosted these meetings in 2007
and 2009 respectively. They returned to Argentina in 2015 and
were held again in Chile in October 2017 and in Brazil in 2019.
In between, Peru (2011) and Colombia (2013) hosted PAMinSA
(www.quequen.unicen.edu.ar/paminsa/).
Disparity in production is not only regional, but also topicrelated. In some cases, as in northern Chile, paleopathological
studies are centered on specific diseases and cases. An exception
is trauma analysis, which has been a very prolific focus of attention. In contrast, in southern Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay,
energy was focused on the study of multiple stress markers to
understand changes in the health status of human groups. Primarily, changes in health indicator prevalence in a spatial and
temporal perspective were explored, in relation to the exploration and colonization of new ecosystems, demographic changes,
dietary patterns (e.g., introduction of agricultural practices and
new resources as result of the European conquest), and sociocultural variations (e.g., those produced by the contact between
natives and Europeans). Many of these results are published in
international journals, while others are communicated in indexed local or regional publications, in many cases with free access by scholar networks such as www.scielo.org, which gathers
the information of a great number of scientific journals from
Latin America, Portugal, and Spain.
Pre-Hispanic populations from South America were culturally and socially very diverse, varying from very stratified and
unequal societies to low-density hunter-gatherers adapted to
very different ecological settings. The stratified societies exhibited high demography dynamics, overcrowding, high prevalence
of infectious diseases, interpersonal violence, and human sacrifices, while the hunter-gatherers demonstrated varying frequencies of non-specific stress indicators such as enamel hypoplasia,
cribra orbitalia (Figure 2), porotic hyperostosis and Harris lines.

Because of this variability, bioarchaeological records of past societies are dissimilar in many regions of South America. While in
some places hundreds of skeletons could be studied, in others,
only a couple dozen are available, which forces the adjustment of
aims, methods and perspectives. But even in those cases, valuable
information has been reported and is enthusiastically welcomed
in international meetings and journals.
New challenges will emerge in the coming years. High level
and original scientific production is being created in some southern South American countries, such as Chile and Argentina, with
increasingly higher international impact, although this goal still
needs to be deepened and spread to the other countries in the
region. In many cases, the most recent theoretical and methodological advances are systematically incorporated into bioarchaeological and paleopathological research, providing rigorous
results. Interdisciplinary interaction in paleopathological studies
needs to be deepened, although this is not exclusively a regional
problem (Mays, 2012). In this matter, research groups completely oriented to paleopathological studies that include multiple kinds of data (archaeological, biological, medical, among
others), are not yet common in southern South America and
need to be addressed in the near future. More participation of
South American scholars in international forums, such as the
Paleopathology Association (PPA) meetings of North America
and Europe, is another aspect required in order to create new
collaborative bonds and to promote regional results and discussions, which in some cases are so isolated that they do not register on the international scene. Economic constraints of South
American countries are an omnipresent obstacle to this aspect.
Finally, another important issue to be highlighted is the need for
the creation of methodological consensus regarding the criteria
for the evaluation of variables, in order to ensure that the results
generated by different researchers are comparable (Luna et al.,
2014b).
In conclusion, paleopathology in southern South America
shows significant scientific dynamics, especially in countries like
Argentina and Chile, and an accelerated development is expected
in the coming years, with high-quality articles. In the remaining countries, research potential is remarkable, since they offer
adequate samples, and the main goal is to achieve the formation
of local specialized resources on the academic and societal levels that address paleopathological problems from a population
perspective.

SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS FOR SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS SERIES
For comprehensive guidelines and specifications, visit https://scholarlypress.si.edu.
ABSTRACTS must not exceed 300 words.
TEXT must be prepared in a recent version of Microsoft Word; use a Times font in 12 point for regular text; be doublespaced; and have 1” margins.
REQUIRED ELEMENTS are title page, abstract, table of contents, main text, and references.
FIGURES must be numbered sequentially (1, 2, 3, etc.) in the order called out; have components lettered consistently (in
size, font, and style) and described in captions; include a scale bar or scale description, if appropriate; include any legends
in or on figures rather than in captions. Figures must be original and must be submitted as individual TIF or EPS files.
FIGURE FILES must meet all required specifications in the Digital Art Preparation Guide. Color images should be
requested only if required.
TAXONOMIC KEYS in natural history manuscripts should use the aligned-couplet form for zoology. If cross referencing
is required between key and text, do not include page references within the key, but number the keyed-out taxa, using the
same numbers with their corresponding heads in the text.
SYNONYMY IN ZOOLOGY must use the short form (taxon, author, year:page), with full reference at the end of the
manuscript under “References.”
REFERENCES should be in alphabetical order, and in chronological order for same-author entries. Each reference should
be cited at least once in main text. Complete bibliographic information must be included in all citations. Examples of the
most common types of citations can be found at SISP’s website under Resources/Guidelines & Forms.
