  • Out of Context, in Association

    Samanti Kulatilake, Roshan Peiris et al.ARTICLEAsian perspectives2018

    The skeletal evidence for early modern human occupation of South Asia is sparse. Sri Lanka has been occupied by modern humans from the terminal Pleistocene, with a skeletal record indicating continuity of occupation and settlement into the late Holocene. This study focuses on the analysis of fragmented human remains dated to the mid-Holocene recovered from a salvage archaeology operation conducted at a shell midden in the coastal village of Mini-…

  • Sexual Dimorphism and Tooth Size Variation in the Permanent Dentition of the Uva Bintenna Veddas of Sri Lanka

    Open AccessThushari Hewapathirana, Thushari Nishanthi Hewapathirana et al.ARTICLEAdvances in Anthropology2014

    Forty-eight dental casts (37 males, 11 females) of Uva Bintenna Veddas were the population. Mesiodistal (MD) and buccolingual (BL) diameters were measured and analyzed for sexual dimorphism and size variation. In males, MD of maxillary canines and mandibular first molars were significantly greater at p p p p p 1, P1, and M1 showed least variability in both arches and in both sexes. In males, both MD and BL showed high variability in maxillary lat…

  • Root and canal morphology of human permanent teeth in a Sri Lankan and Japanese population

    Open AccessRoshan PeirisARTICLEAnthropological Science2008Cited by: 3References: 1

    The main purpose of this study was to investigate the root and canal morphology of Sri Lankan and Japanese permanent dentition. Two thousand Sri Lankan and 976 Japanese permanent teeth were examined. The number of roots in premolars and molars and the prevalence of C-shaped (gutter shaped) roots in mandibular second molars were recorded. Root canal morphology was studied using a clearing technique. The examination of root canal systems of the tee…

  • Crown dimensions of the mandibular molars in two ethnic groups in Sri Lanka

    Open AccessRoshan Peiris, Deepthi Nanayakkara et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2006Cited by: 1References: 1

    Crown dimensions of the mandibular permanent first and second molars (M1 and M2) were measured and compared between contemporary Sri Lankan Tamil and Sinhalese males. Sixty dental plaster casts (30 Sinhalese and 30 Tamil) obtained from university students in Kandy, Sri Lanka, were studied. The crown dimensions investigated were mesiodistal and buccolingual crown diameters, mesiodistal diameters of the trigonid and talonid, and buccolingual diamet…
