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.

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.

Can dental microwear textures record inter-individual dietary variations? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Dental microwear analyses are commonly used to deduce the diet of extinct mammals. Conventional methods rely on the user identifying features within a 2D image.

Buccal dental-microwear and dietary ecology in a free-ranging population of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) from southern Gabon. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Analyses of dental micro- and macro-wear offer valuable information about dietary adaptations. The buccal surface of the teeth does not undergo attrition, indicating that dental microwear may directly inform about food properties. Only a few studies have,

Lifestyle changes and its effect towards the evolution of human dentition

Egyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2022
Background The dentition of modern humans has evolved from their hominid ancestors to their current form. Factors regarding the changes of lifestyle such as dietary habits and usage of tools have affected the evolution of human dentition.

Back to the edge: relative coordinate system for use-wear analysis [PDF]

, 2019
Use-wear studies rely heavily on experiments and reference collections to infer the function of archeological artifacts. Sequential experiments, in particular, are necessary to understand how use-wear develops.

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

Testing dietary hypotheses of East African hominines using buccal dental microwear data [PDF]

, 2017
There is much debate on the dietary adaptations of the robust hominin lineages during the Pliocene-Pleistocene transition. It has been argued that the shift from C3 to C4 ecosystems in Africa was the main factor responsible for the robust dental and ...

Enamel microwear in caviomorph rodents [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 2008
We developed a new data set of enamel microwear for extant caviomorph rodents (i.e., South American hystricognaths) and inferred the diet of an extinct taxon, Neoreomys australis, from data on microwear. To evaluate frequencies of wear features (pits and scratches) in caviomorphs, we employed low-magnification microwear, which has been used ...

Dynamic evolution of interface roughness during friction and wear processes [PDF]

, 2014
Dynamic evolution of surface roughness and influence of initial roughness (Sa=0.282 to 6.73 µm) during friction and wear processes has been analyzed experimentally.
