The archaeoentomological study of insect remains recovered from a pre-Columbian funerary bundle (10th-11th centuries AD) is presented and illustrated. Among this material, 12 species belonging to 10 families and four distinct orders have been identified. From the biological data of the different taxa, some hypotheses about the funerary practices of the hunter-gatherer semi nomads of Northern Mexico are proposed.
