Análisis antropofísico de una osamenta

This article presents the results of a physical-anthropological studycarried out on the bones uncovered at the base of the San Felipe Fortressin Bacalar. The bones correspond to a Caucasian man, of middle age,living in the nineteenth century, and who —according to the bone structureand the artifacts accompanying them— possibly belonged to theprivileged classes. This study aims to establish the identity of this person,determine what relationship he had with Bacalar and with the Fortress,and in which socio-historic time he lived and died. The importance ofthis person lies in the fact that he represents a reference point for thereconstruction of living conditions in Bacalar in the nineteenth century.
