Characterizing variation in late precontact diets using dental microwear texture analysis: a Caborn-Welborn example

Southeastern Archaeology
The Caborn-Welborn phase identifies late precontact and early postcontact (ca. AD 1400–1700) peoples of the lower Ohio River valley in Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois who coalesced following the collapse of the Angel chiefdom.

Historical dietary ecology of black-backed jackals (Lupulella mesomelas) based on dental microwear texture analysis

Journal of Mammalogy
Within the diverse carnivore guilds of eastern and southern Africa, Black-backed Jackal (Lupulella mesomelas) populations are stable and thriving, unlike hundreds of mammal species in Africa that are adversely affected by human-mediated habitat loss and ...

Tooth eruption status and bite force determine dental microwear texture gradients in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus forma domestica).

The Anatomical Record
Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position-specific ...

Hominoid Dental Microwear: Complications in the Use of Microwear Analysis to Detect Diet

Journal of Dental Research, 1984
Analysis of dental microwear on chimpanzee molars reveals much variation that reflects jaw mechanics and occlusal function rather than diet. Observed microwear pattern differences relate to variations in molar position, facet type, and overall age of the tooth. Gradients in the amounts of shear and compression generated at different points in the molar

Correlation between dental microwear analysis and dietary habits of Neanderthal populations in the Iberian Peninsula

Radiocarbon: An International Journal of Cosmogenic Isotope Research
The dietary habits of Neanderthals are considered an issue of great interest in the literature and have opened an important number of fruitful debates. Indeed, understanding diets can provide important information regarding issues of palaeoenvironmental ...

Gross Dental Wear and Dental Microwear in Historical Perspective

1998
The wearing away of the tooth surface during the chewing of food is a natural process to which the teeth have continuously adapted since even before they were used by Devonian fish. Since then, teeth have been altered in growth pattern, size, morphology, and structural integration of dentine and enamel to accommodate the various diets exploited over ...

A new specimen and dental microwear in Oreopithecus bambolii

HOMO, 2003
The authors describe a new specimen of Oreopithecus bambolii, a catarrhine primate from late Miocene sites of Tuscany and Sardinia (Italy). Microwears of 4 specimens of Oreopithecus bambolii have been analysed on standard surfaces of facet 9 to determine the diet.

In vivo and in vitro turnover in dental microwear

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1989
AbstractGiven the potential usefulness of dental microwear analyses in interpretations of archaeological and paleontological material, it is surprising how little we know about changes in individual microwear features through time. The purpose of this study was to document the turnover in primate dental microwear through in vivo dental studies of ...

Brief communication: Dental microwear and diet of Homo naledi

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2018
AbstractObjectivesA recent study of dental chipping suggested that Homo naledi teeth were exposed to “acute trauma” on a regular basis during life, presumably from the consumption of grit‐laden foods. This follows debate concerning the etiology of dental chips in South African hominin teeth that dates back more than half a century.

Dental Microwear Analysis of Cercopithecoides Williamsi

2013
Cercopithecoides williamsi, a Plio-Pleistocene primate, is believed to have been a terrestrial colobine monkey. Dental microwear analysis of C. williamsi specimens from South African cave sites was employed to test these assumptions. Analysis of the features shows that although the microwear signature of C.
