Objective
Transatlantic contact during the 1400s ignited a series of socio-economic, political, demographic and biocultural changes that irreversibly transformed the course of history in the Americas with repercussions across the world. But one of the most influential encounters occurred in 1519 between the Mexica empire and the Spanish and African troops of Hernn Cortes in the basin of todays Mexico. The transformational consequences were unparalleled at the time, but equally consequential is the way that the so-called conquest of Mexico has been portrayed over the last five centuries, influencing how the populations involved in this iconic event have perceived themselves and their societies overtime. Of particular significance is the process of mestizaje (admixture) and its conceptualisation. Admixture is a common biological phenomenon in human history, but the perception of mestizaje in the context of this event is far more complex than a mere biological procedure, it is a complex biocultural process shaped by fluctuating social, cultural, biological and historic circumstantial events.
The recently commemorated quincentennial anniversary of this event and the debates surrounding it highlighted that the underlying biocultural forces driving mestizaje leading to the present-day population diversity of Mexico remain contested. AdMEXture will explore historical biological effects of social inequalities with particular emphasis on sex bias and differential reproduction patterns, in the survival and distribution of diversity. By generating serial multisource osteobiographies based on the latest experimental and analytical bioarcheological techniques, AdMEXture will deliver crucial data to be incorporated in state-of-the-art historic debates. These individual microhistories will provide examples of real participants in this process, contributing to a more inclusive and representative history.
