Abstract/Description
This thesis compares the human dentition of three coastal populations in Salango, Ecuador, dating to Late Guangala (Site 141C: 100 B.C. – A.D. 800), Early Manteño (Site 35: A.D. 645 +/- 45 and A.D. 430), and Late Manteño (Site 140: A.D. 1300 – 1600). The human remains in Sites 141C and 140 have not been previously analyzed and provide new information about coastal Ecuador in the form of statistical analysis and osteobiographies. Dental pathologies such as caries, abscesses, calculus,...

The human remains in Sites 141C and 140 have not been previously analyzed and provide new information about coastal Ecuador in the form of statistical analysis and osteobiographies. Dental pathologies such as caries, abscesses, calculus, hypoplasia, as well as dental wear patterns indicate subsistence, or diet, behavioral and cultural practices, and early childhood development. The data suggests that agriculture became more intensively practiced during Site 35’s occupation, whereas Site 141C preferred fishing, and Site 140 used both methods in a simultaneous manner where neither dominated. Further, the disruption in childhood development is statistically significant during Site 140’s occupation, suggesting these individuals were heavily affected by climate, Spanish colonization and subsequent disease, social struggles, and/or dietary deficiency.

Analysis of osteological remains from Salango, Ecuador with comparisons to four other coastal Ecuadorian sites
Title
Analysis of osteological remains from Salango, Ecuador with comparisons to four other coastal Ecuadorian sites.

Abstract/Description
Archaeological Site 035 Tomb, located in Salango, Ecuador contains remains associated with the Manteno culture which flourished during the Integration period from A.D. 500 until the Spanish Conquest in 1532. Although agriculture played a role in the diet of these people, marine resources were utilized for both food and trade. Osteological remains of at least 14 individuals were excavated from this site and examined to determine the variation in the population of this region. The following...
Show moreArchaeological Site 035 Tomb, located in Salango, Ecuador contains remains associated with the Manteno culture which flourished during the Integration period from A.D. 500 until the Spanish Conquest in 1532. Although agriculture played a role in the diet of these people, marine resources were utilized for both food and trade. Osteological remains of at least 14 individuals were excavated from this site and examined to determine the variation in the population of this region. The following four sites were used as comparisons to the Salango site based on their geographical location and their temporal relationship to Salango: Real Alto, Ayalan, La Libertad, and La Tolita. These sites were analyzed to determine how agriculture and environment played a role in their health and nutrition. This study indicates that pre-Colombian cultures of the region may not have been entirely integrated and that the various populations may have engaged in varied lifestyles.
