Summary: Work on ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE PEOPLE OF MEDIEVAL FEMENINAS EBRO HIGH AND HIGH DUERO, which can be broadly defined as a classical anthropometric study and exhaustive, meets all the formal requirements and methodological requirements in such jobs: GOALS, MATMERIAL , METHODS, STUDIES PROMENORIZADOS HISTORICAL AND ANTROPOLOGICO, COMPARISONS STATISTICS MULTIVARIANTES, RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS. It discusses four collections osteométricas: Villanueva of Soportilla (Miranda de Ebro, Burgos). The Castle (Palacios de la Sierra, Burgos), Monasteries were Suso (San Millan de la Cogolla, La Rioja) and San Baduelio de Berlanga (Berlanga de Duero, Soria), ranging from centuries IX and XIII, and totaling 91 women. Featured are both morphological and métricamente skulls as the skeleton poscraneal, are calculated estaturas and life expectancies. All these data are compared with each other and with the corresponding male (sexual dimorphism), it also does this with a series of medieval southern Spain (La Torrecilla, Arenas del Rey, Grenada). The results and findings provide important information on both the variability intragroup as intergrupal, composition tipolígica of the four samples of populations and the total number. The stocking that took place in the four sites studied were made from very similar populations within the marked variability in the Mediterranean sensu lato, as evidenced by the remarkable similarities that, time and again, shown in the comparisons multivariate (Component Analysis Major and Cluster) between the series of medieval High Ebro-Alto Douro and Castilla. This study is to cover the objective of providing valuable information and many numerical data for the anthropological knowledge of the characteristics of women repoblados in the process of the Reconquest and to provide a valuable reference for researchers to better understand the relationships between these groups during historical processes of great interest.
