Esta monografía estudia la infancia en las Islas Canarias prehispánicas utilizando métodos provenientes de la Bioarqueología, la Arqueología de la Muerte y la Etnohistoria. La importancia de la infancia, muy ligada al género, radica en que este grupo de edad encarna los conceptos de innovación y tradición. Los niños y niñas son vitales para la reproducción ideológica del grupo y son responsables de la transmisión de la cultura entre generaciones. Representan el futuro de las familias y los linajes, así como el pasado, ya que la transferencia de conocimientos a los niños y niñas está dictada por normas consuetudinarias.La evidencia de las Islas Canarias muestra que los infantiles prehispánicos eran miembros activos de la sociedad que colaboraban en actividades de subsistencia desde una edad muy temprana. Su estado de desarrollo, edad de muerte y patologías son indicadores del estatus económico y social del grupo, ya que criar hijos e hijas requiere una importante inversión de tiempo y recursos. Las condiciones de salud de los subadultos también pueden ser predictores útiles de la calidad de vida y la mortalidad de los adultos. En general, este análisis puede servir como modelo para el estudio de la infancia en otros sitios arqueológicos y geoculturales insulares.This monograph studies childhood in the prehispanic Canary Islands using methods from bioarchaeology, the archaeology of death, and ethnohistory. The importance of childhood, closely linked to gender, lies in the fact that this group embodies the concepts of innovation and tradition. Children are vital for the ideological reproduction of the group and are responsible for the transmission of culture between generations. They represent the future of families and lineages, as well as the past, since the transfer of knowledge to children is dictated by customary norms.Evidence from the Canary Islands shows that prehispanic children were active members of society who collaborated on subsistence activities from a very early age. Their state of development, age of death and pathologies are all indicators of the economic and social status of the group, since raising children requires a significant investment of time and resources. Subadult health conditions can also be useful predictors of adult quality of life and mortality. Overall, this analysis can serve as a model for the study of childhood in other island archaeological and geocultural sites.
