Human tooth wear in the past and the present: tribological mechanisms, scoring systems, dental and skeletal compensations
E d'Incau, C Couture, B Maureille - Archives of oral biology, 2012 - Elsevier
This review of human tooth wear describes the fundamental mechanisms underlying this
process. Using the tribological approach they can be systematised and this in turn aids our …

Error rates in dental microwear quantification using scanning electron microscopy
There is a degree of correlation between dietary habits and dental microwear in extant
primates, and this has enabled inferences to be made about prehistoric diets. Several …

Dental calculus reveals potential respiratory irritants and ingestion of essential plant-based nutrients at Lower Palaeolithic Qesem Cave Israel
Reconstructing detailed aspects of the lives of Lower Palaeolithic hominins, who lived
during the Middle Pleistocene, is challenging due to the restricted nature of the surviving …
