Descripción:
This article presents the results of a physical-anthropological study carried out on the bones uncovered at the base of the San Felipe Fortress in Bacalar. The bones correspond to a Caucasian man, of middle age, living in the nineteenth century, and who according to the bone structure and the artifacts accompanying them possibly belonged to the privileged classes. This study aims to establish the identity of this person, determine what relationship he had with Bacalar and with the Fortress, and in which socio-historic time he lived and died. The importance of this person lies in the fact that he represents a reference point for the reconstruction of living conditions in Bacalar in the nineteenth century.
