Brazilian archaeologists have suggested that these groups comprised a stable system during their occupation of the coast, especially on the southern coast of Santa Catarina state. This study investigates whether the cultural continuity and stability in this region are also reflected in markers of physiological stress visible in bones and teeth, looking for three non-specific stress markers (porotic hyperostosis, cribra orbitalia, and linear enamel hypoplasia) in human skeletal remains from two sambaquis (Cabeçuda, n = 77 and Jabuticabeira II, n = 55, c. 3,200-1,500 years BP). The resulting data indicate that the individuals buried in these sambaquis were constantly exposed to stressful events during childhood, but physiological stress patterns changed over time, signaling biocultural variability among the groups despite similar material cultures and constructive aspects. 2023 artículo científico 1981-8122 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=394075122003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3940/394075122003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3940/394075122003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3940/394075122003/394075122003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3940/394075122003/movil 10.1590/2178-2547-BGOELDI-2021-0064 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3940 Boletim do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi.
