A scientific commission was formed in 2001 by the Puerto Rican government to identify the remains of Ramon Power y Giralt, the country's first diplomat and member of the 1812 Spanish Court of Cadiz. In 1813, after signing the Spanish Constitution claiming independence from Napoleon Bonaparte, Power died and was buried in Spain. Nearly 200 years later, the commission sought to repatriate Power to Puerto Rico. Multiple lines of evidence were employed to identify his skeleton, including osteological profiles matched with available historical information, stable isotope analyses, and mtDNA compared with samples from the Power family vault in Puerto Rico.
