Abstract:
Fracturing patterns on phalanges and mandibles are analysed in the ensemble of human processing of groups who lived in Caldas Cave about 13.000 BP. Therefore it will be caracterized their fracturing patterns and it will be verified diferential fracturing on some specific bones as response to eating habit. It has treated a partial aspect of subsistance strategies as the selection of individuals and marginal anatomical parts with low medullary content to palliate the statinary nutritional stress due to biological alterations at level of fat distribution that takes place cyclically in the organisms. This will take us to approach the reconstruction of food strategies in their paleoeconomic system.
