espanolEl proposito de este articulo es discutir una reciente aportacion que desde el ambito de la bioarqueologia ha abordado ciertas cuestiones acerca de los modos de vida de los antiguos canarios. Esta contribucion se focaliza en el estudio de la organizacion social del trabajo a partir del analisis de algunos marcadores oseos de actividad fisica. Concretamente, los musculo-esqueleticos o cambios entesicos y las dimensiones metricas de los huesos largos en una serie esqueletica de 138 individuos. Esta muestra procede de diez necropolis prehispanicas datadas por AMS entre los siglos xi y xv. Los resultados permiten describir un patron cotidiano de actividad fisica que es congruente con una organizacion social del proceso productivo articulada a partir de una division sexual y social del trabajo.
