Dental meso-and microwear are proxies that allow the diet to be reconstructed. Applied to
herbivores, these proxies provide information on vegetation structure and composition …

We propose for the first time the use of the combination of two high-resolution techniques,
dental wear (meso-and microwear) and dental cementum analyses, to gain a better …

The small Valdegoba cave has yielded many fossils remains since the first excavations in
1987. Homo neanderthalensis is the most characteristic species in this large assemblage of …

Vertebrate teeth are highly mineralized dermal tissues composed, principally, of bioapatite
making them highly resistant to physical and chemical alteration over geologic time scales …

Abstract The Middle Pleistocene site of Fontana Ranuccio (Anagni Basin, Central Italy) has
yielded nearly 25,000 remains belonging to large and small vertebrates, including four …

Seasonality in archaeological sites can be inferred using different methods such as tooth
eruption and wear patterns, stable isotopes or cementochronology. In this paper we propose …

High-resolution paleoecological proxies, such as stable isotopes or tooth microwear in large
mammals, are often used for their potential to deliver information about the paleodietary …

Dietary analyses are classical way of reconstructing paleoecology; extinct animals are
compared to modern analogues and their habitats. These analyses are often based on tooth …

Dietary analyses of herbivorous mammals are important for paleoecological reconstruction.
Several methods applicable to fossil teeth have been developed lately. The mesowear …

Characterization of settlement patterns is one of the core concepts in archeological
research. The duration of an occupation is usually estimated through zooarchaeology (eg …
