Comparing modern humans and Neanderthals, we have previously shown that recent
modern humans (RMH) and Neanderthals differ in anterior root lengths, and that this …

The use of 'teeth as tools'(non-masticatory or cultural-related dental wear) has largely been
employed as a proxy for studying of past human behavior, mainly in permanent dentition …

Here we describe dental remains from a Neanderthal fossil assemblage from Moula‐
Guercy, France. Our report demonstrates that the Moula‐Guercy hominid remains contribute …

The present study employs dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) on molar occlusal
surfaces from the Croatian Neandertal sites of Krapina and Vindija to gain greater insight …

Some Neandertal anterior teeth show unusual and excessive gross wear, commonly
explained by non-dietary anterior tooth use, or using the anterior dentition as a tool, clamp …

Systematic paleopathology research on the Late Pleistocene can provide a new perspective
on the health, demographics and lifestyle of Paleolithic peoples; however oral pathologies …

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 …

Characteristic patterns of dental wear form through the use of the dentition for non-
masticatory manipulative behaviors. The use of “teeth-as-tools” or the dentition as a “third …

This research utilizes two analytical methods to examine the dental microwear of two
skeletal samples from East Lokris, Greece. The samples are from the Bronze age/Early Iron …
