Lagoa Santa is an archeological region in Central-Eastern Brazil, which has great
preservation of human remains in its rockshelters. The skeletons date to between 7000 and …

Recent dental microwear studies have shown that fossil species differ from one another in
texture attributes—both in terms of central tendency and dispersion. Most comparative …

Dental microwear textures have been examined for a broad range of extant primates to
assess their efficacy for reconstructing diets of fossil species. To date though, no dental …

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

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 …

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 …

The dental microwear textures of six individuals from Hortus cave, France are compared to
Neandertals from different ecological zones and time periods. Molar Phase II facets were …

Objectives Platyrrhine species differ in the extent to and the manner in which they use their
incisors and canines during food ingestion. For example, Ateles uses its anterior teeth to …

Dental microwear analysis has proven to be a valuable tool for the reconstruction of aspects
of diet in early hominins. That said, sample sizes for some groups are small, decreasing our …
