Resumen:
In this presentation we will refer to a series of studies concerning the transformations (mainly in health and illness) brought about by contact at La Candelaria. This was one of the southernmost and latest religious missions in Argentina. It worked between 1893 and 1900 approximately. Scientific research on the mission currently includes different disciplines and specialties; for instance, biology, bioarchaeology, zooarchaeology, anthropology, historical archaeology.
