The elongation of the styloid process is rarely reported in archaeological contexts. Thus, the aim of this work is to present 2 individuals dated by AMS in late Holocene from the hills region of Córdoba province (Argentina). Two female adults from Loteo 5 and Loma Bola sites presented elongated styloid processes, as well as a lack of development of one of them. This is the first time the condition is detected in archaeological individuals in Argentina.
