Diet in Mesolithic Europe: New evidence from dental microwear

Internet Archaeology, 2007
Palaeodietary reconstruction is a key to understanding Mesolithic lifeways. Dental microwear analysis is a tool for investigating palaeodiet using microscopic tooth wear patterns.

Comparison of maxillary first molar occlusal outlines of Neandertals from the Meuse River Basin of Belgium using elliptical Fourier analysis

Anthropological Review, 2017
Several Neandertals derive from the karstic caves of the Meuse river tributaries of Belgium, including Engis 2, Scladina 4A-4 and Spy 1. These may form a group that is distinct in maxillary first molar occlusal outlines compared to La Quina 5 from ...

Human Dental Microwear From Ohalo II (22,500–23,500 cal BP), Southern Levant [PDF]

, 2007
Dietary hardness and abrasiveness are inferred from human dental microwear at Ohalo II, a late Upper Palaeolithic site (22,500–23,500 cal BP) in the southern Levant.

The diet of the first Europeans from Atapuerca [PDF]

, 2017
Hominin dietary specialization is crucial to understanding the evolutionary changes of craniofacial biomechanics and the interaction of food processing methods’ effects on teeth.

Anterior Dental Microwear Texture Analysis of the Krapina Neandertals [PDF]

, 2012
Some Neandertal anterior teeth show unusual and excessive gross wear, commonly explained by non-dietary anterior tooth use, or using the anterior dentition as a tool, clamp, or third hand. This alternate use is inferred from aboriginal arctic populations,

Dental microwear and diet of the Plio-Pleistocene hominin Paranthropus boisei.

PLoS ONE, 2008
The Plio-Pleistocene hominin Paranthropus boisei had enormous, flat, thickly enameled cheek teeth, a robust cranium and mandible, and inferred massive, powerful chewing muscles. This specialized morphology, which earned P. boisei the nickname "Nutcracker

Multi-proxy dentition analyses reveal niche partitioning between sympatric herbivorous dinosaurs

Scientific Reports, 2022
Dentitions of the sympatric herbivorous dinosaurs Hungarosaurus (Ankylosauria, Nodosauridae) and Mochlodon (Ornithopoda, Rhabdodontidae) (Santonian, Hungary) were analysed to investigate their dietary ecology, using several complementary methods ...

Experimental Perspective on Fallback Foods and Dietary Adaptations in Early Hominins [PDF]

, 2014
The robust jaws and large, thick-enameled molars of the Plio–Pleistocene hominins Australopithecus and Paranthropus have long been interpreted as adaptations for hard-object feeding.

The effectiveness of using carbonate isotope measurements of body tissues to infer diet in human evolution: Evidence from wild western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus)* [PDF]

, 2015
Changes in diet throughout hominin evolution have been linked with important evolutionary changes. Stable carbon isotope analysis of inorganic apatite carbonate is the main isotopic method used to reconstruct fossil hominin diets; to test its ...
