RESUMEN El objetivo del presente trabajo fue el de deter-minar in vitro el haplogrupo de la region hipervariable I (HVR-I) del ADN mitocondrial (ADNmt) obtenido a partir de una muestra dental perteneciente a un individuo asociado a la comunidad de los Paracas, hallada por Jorge Reynolds en los anos 60 del siglo XX en Ica (Peru). Gracias a esta tipificacion molecular, hemos podido contribuir a la informacion arqueologica y antropologica ya registrada para esta poblacion peruana de mas de 2000 anos de antiguedad, de-terminando su linaje materno y su vinculo con otros pobladores nativos americanos en la region. Palabras clave: Paracas, ADN mitocondrial, Ha-plogrupos, Pre-Colombino, Peru. ABSTRACT PRE-COLUMBIAN MITOCHONDRIAL DNA TYPING ON DENTAL REMAINS FROM AN INDIVIDUAL BELONGING TO THE PARACAS CULTURE (PERU) The aim of the present study was to determine in vitro the haplogroup of the hypervariable region I (HVR-I) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) obtained from a dental sample belonging to an individual associated with the Paracas pre-Columbian community, which was found by Jorge Reynolds in the XXth century in Ica (Peru). We were able to contribute new and complementary information to archaeological and anthropological data already registered for this Peruvian population who lived more than 2000 years before the present, deter-mining his xmaternal lineage and linking him to other contemporary Native American peoples in the region. Key words: Paracas, mitochondrial DNA, Pre-Columbian, Haplogroups, Peru.
