External abrasives ingested along with the herbivore diet are considered main contributors
to dental wear, though how the different sizes and concentrations of these abrasives …

Increasingly researchers have employed confocal microscopy and 3D surface texture
analysis to assess bone surface modifications in an effort to understand ancient behavior …

Dental microwear analysis is a proxy for analysing the diet in extinct and extant vertebrates,
especially mammals. The limits of these approaches are still rather poorly known, especially …

Experimental approaches are often used to better understand the mechanisms behind and
consequences of post-mortem alteration on proxies for diet reconstruction. Dental microwear …

Dental and artifact microwear analyses have a lot in common regarding the questions they
address, their developmental history and their issues. However, few paleontologists and …

In dental microwear analysis, the impression molds or resin casts are often analyzed rather
than the original tooth surfaces. A choice of silicone products for dental impression is crucial …

Quantification and automation represent important methodological developments in dental
microwear analysis and in artifact microwear (use-wear) analysis in order to address the …

Dental microwear is used to investigate feeding ecology. Animals ingest geological material
in addition to food. The full effect of geological abrasives on tooth wear is unknown. To …

Use-wear analysis has been a well-established aspect of the study of artefact biography for
decades, and it has recently developed along two different, though complementary …

Abstract Dental Microwear Analysis (DMA) is currently used for obtaining information on diet
of different animal species. Low-magnification Microwear Dental Analysis (LMDA) is a DMA …
