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 …

Bovids are often used as paleoenvironmental proxies because they are among the most
commonly recovered large mammals at many fossil hominin sites and because modern …

Many researchers have suggested that Australopithecus anamensis and Australopithecus
afarensis were among the earliest hominins to have diets that included hard, brittle items …

Large herbivorous mammals have evolved chewing systems capable of processing a large
variety of structurally diverse foods. Three-dimensional (3D) surface texture parameters are …

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

Fieldwork performed during the last 15 years in various Early Pleistocene East African sites
has significantly enlarged the fossil record of Homo erectus sensu lato (sl). Additional …

Labial striations on the anterior teeth have been documented in numerous European pre-
Neandertal and Neandertal fossils and serve as evidence for handedness. OH-65, dated at …

Early modern humans (EMH) are often touted as behaviorally advanced to Neandertals, with
more sophisticated technologies, expanded resource exploitation, and more complex …

Dietary habits are inferred from dental microwear and isotope analyses of the Magdalenian
human individual from the site of El Mirón, dated to 15,460±40 BP. The pattern of dental …

Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) quantifies microscopic scar or wear patterns left
on teeth by different foods or extraneous ingested items such as grit. It can be a powerful tool …
