The aims of the study were to characterize
the relationships between members of Amarillos community buried within the same
funerary structure through ancient DNA analysis, and to discuss the burial practices and social organization
of that community. Eighteen individuals recovered from three different burial
structures were studied, and enabled to characterize 13 mitochondrial haplotypes,
5 Y-chromosomal haplotypes and 11 complete autosomal STR profiles. The results
revealed that the domestic areas were used as family graves, and that the
majority of studied individuals shared maternal lineage, suggesting matrilocal practices.
