One of the most fundamental developments in the history of our species—and one having
among the most profound impacts on landscapes and the people occupying them—was the …

As a discipline that bridges the biological and social sciences, bioarchaeology has much to
contribute to a contextualized and theoretically sophisticated understanding of social …

This paper provides a theoretical review and a framework of methods for using dental
microwear analysis on deciduous teeth to investigate weaning processes from …

With the exception of few studies, occlusal microwear of pre‐agricultural modern humans
has not been documented. In this study, microwear fabrics of samples from seven …

Diet is widely recognized as the single most important parameter underlying" behavioral and
ecological differences among living animals. Bioarchaeologists and paleontologists …

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

This work presents the results of a combination of different proxies, such as animal and plant
remains, isotope analysis, and dental microwear, for the different chrono-cultural phases …

Buccal–dental microwear depends on the abrasive content of chewed foodstuffs and can
reveal long‐term dietary trends in human populations. However, in vivo experimental …

Many aspects of diet and behaviour can be gleaned from dental wear, including
environmental conditions, food‐fracture properties, food processing techniques, and cultural …

Dental microwear analysts have demonstrated that hard diets leave numerous microscopic
pits on occlusal surfaces. The relationship between occlusal pitting and gross macrowear …
