Análisis de los restos óseos recuperados en la necrópolis de Santo Domingo de Silos. Prádena del Rincón

espanolDurante de la restauracion de la Iglesia medieval de Santo Domingo de Silos, en Pradena del Rincon (Madrid), se descubrio una necropolis con al menos 245 individuos enterrados entre los siglos XII y XV, siendo mas del 50 % subadultos. Se realizo un estudio antropologico, paleopatologico y radiologico de los individuos, permitiendonos identificar la presencia de traumatismos (de etiologia accidental y violenta), enfermedades metabolicas, infecciosas, trastornos circulatorios, degenerativos y tumorales. Llama la atencion la tumba 36, un osario donde se han encontrado restos de 49 adultos y 6 infantiles, por la poca proporcion de ninos en comparacion con el resto de la necropolis (71 adultos y 119 ninos). Todas estas patologias encajan dentro de la normalidad para una poblacion medieval de entorno rural ganadero, cuyo contexto historico, la Reconquista, pudo ser el origen de las muertes violentas localizadas. EnglishDuring the restoration of the medieval church of Santo Domingo de Silos in Pradena del Rincon (Madrid, Spain) a necropolis with at least 245 individuals, buried between the 12th and 15th centuries, was discovered. Out of this number, more than 50% were children. A full anthropological, paleopathological and radiological study of these individuals was performed, including trauma (accidentally and violent), metabolic diseases, infections, circulatory disorders, degenerative disorders and tumours. The discovery of ossuary 36, with the remains of 49 adults and 6 children, was noteworthy due to the low proportion of children compared to the rest of the necropolis (71 adults and 119 children). All these pathologies fit within the normality for a medieval population of rural cattle-breeding environment, whose historical context, the period of Reconquista in central Spain, could be the origin of the violent deaths.
