Anthropology, history, biology, medicine, genetics, physics, and chemistry come together in this study of human skeletal remains. The author applied techniques from these disciplines to bones recovered from the mortuary caves of La Candelaria, Coahuila, and La Ventana, Chihuahua. He concludes that bone fluorescence could be useful in studies of ancient DNA, but not as a tool to determine the time of death in forensic medicine, as it is presently used. In Spanish.
