Diet and behavioral strategies of modern humans are examined through several indirect
and direct lenses. One of the direct lenses is dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) …

Teeth provide a perfect vessel for reconstructing diet and behavior in the fossil record.
Dental microwear—that is, scratches, pits, or textures that form on the enamel surface due to …

Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is a means for interpreting microscopic features
that form on teeth as a result of mastication. Although initially developed for reconstructing …

Dental microwear texture analysis has proven to be a valuable tool for inferring aspects of
subsistence behaviour in human groups and diet in other mammals. Studies have to date …

Objectives The current study seeks to determine if a sample of foragers, farmers, and
pastoralists are distinguishable based on their dental microwear texture signatures …

Objectives Dental microwear is a promising tool to reconstruct animals' diet because it
reflects the interplay between the enamel surface and the food items recently consumed …

Dental microwear has long been used as evidence concerning the diets of extinct species.
Here, we present a comparative baseline series of dental microwear textures for a sample of …

Objectives The food that people and animals consume leaves microscopic traces on teeth in
predictable ways, and analyses of these markings—known as dental microwear analyses …

Several recent studies have demonstrated the efficacy of dental microwear analysis (DMA)
for dietary reconstruction among nonhuman primates, early hominids, and prehistoric …

The current study employs dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) to discern dietary
differences between groups of archaeologically derived pastoralists and agriculturists. The …
