An important discovery was made inOctober 2015 in the Albufera ofMar Chiquita district of Buenos Aires province where two teachers found humanremains, including a jawbone, a skull, and several limbs. A research group ledby Dr. Verónica Aldazabal wasable to determine that the remains belonged to one adult and two sub-adultsbased on their fusion states and relative dimensions. However, another set ofremains could not be individualized, making it unclear whether they belonged toanother individual. This presentation is about the use ofLaser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for identification andclassification of archaeological bones. The paper we will be discussingpresents a study that uses LIBS in combination with chemometric methods to classifyand discriminate ancient human bones. The objective of the study is toestablish a measurement protocol and identify the most relevant features foraccurate classification of individuals, regardless of the type of bone ordental sample analyzed. In this presentation, we will discuss the background ofLIBS, the methodology used in the study, the results, and the potentialapplications of this technology in the field of archaeology.
