Abstract
In 1998, in the locality of Mesa del Mar (municipality of Tacoronte, northern slope of the island of Tenerife, Canary Islands), a Guanche funerary site was digged up.This site, dated in the 10th century AD, was located in a cave, on the top of a coastal cliff, and was composed of the skeletal remains of a minimum of 36 individuals of both sexes. An analysis of these remains, compared to other remains from two other sites of similar characteristics (Cueva de La Lana and Cueva del Guanche) seem to suggest, after analyzing the changes in the cervical vertebral bodies and the presence of occupational stress markers in clavicles and scapulae, the presence of intersexual differences compatible with differences in the type of work performed by the aboriginal population.
