Abstract

Se aportan nuevos datos para conocer el movimiento de personas y productos que se produjo en Santa Cruz de Tenerife en el siglo XVIII, utilizando como fuente las evidencias arqueológicas y antropológicas procedentes de las excavaciones realizadas en la Iglesia de La Concepción. Los análisis de ADNmt de la población adulta han demostrado la diversidad de la población asentada en la ciudad, destacando el alto porcentaje de linajes subsaharianos. En la muestra infantil estudiada (21 falanges) se identificaron mayoritariamente linajes europeos. Los 6 fragmentos analizados de pipas de fumar de origen holandés presentaron una composición compatible con la pirofilita. 

The aim of this work is to provide new data for the knowledge of the movement of people and products in Santa Cruz de Tenerife during the 18th century. Archaeological and anthropological evidence from the excavations in the church of La Concepción were used as a source of information. mtDNA analysis from the adult population have shown the diversity of the people settled in the city, with an important presence of sub-Saharan lineages. In the child sample studied (21 phalanges), mostly European lineages were found. The 6 fragments of smoking pipes of Dutch origin studied showed a composition compatible with the pyrophyllite.
