- Resum
- Galicia, a current Spanish Autonomous Community placed in the north-west of Iberia, underwent a series of important socioeconomic and environmental changes during the Roman and Medieval periods. The Saint James´Way and an intense maritime traffic, among others, connected this isolated region to the rest of Europe, especially to Portugal and the British Isles. This research is focused on the bioarchaeological study of 259 skeletons, the majority from four Roman and Medieval necropolises. A Bronze Age collection and a Postmedieval mass grave, found in one of the previous sites, have been included to understand the evolution of the features. This constitutes the largest study so far carried out in Galicia, more than six times greater than the sample size of previous studies. The structure is grouped into three subdivisions: (1) Normal variability of the populations: archaeological context, paleodemography, morphological and biodistance studies using multivariate analysis. (2) Palaeopathology. (3) Paleodiet, using stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes from human collagen (in collaboration with Gundula Müldner, University of Reading). This thesis is mainly written in Spanish; nevertheless, the paleodietary section is in English, as well as the abstract and the conclusions.
