Primate Dental Function and Evolution: Longitudinal 3D Analysis of Tooth Wear in Wild Baboons
Tooth wear constrains feeding efficiency, life history, and survival in mammals, yet its progression in wild populations remains poorly understood. We use high-resolution 3D analysis to quantify occlusal tissue loss over a three-year period in the upper premolars and molars (P 3 –M 3 ; n = 70) of wild baboons ( Papio ). Our sample includes olive baboons ( P. anubis ) and naturally occurring olive–hamadryas hybrids ( P. anubis × P. hamadryas ) fro…
Technical note: Artificial Resynthesis Technology for the experimental formation of dental microwear textures
Dental microwear formation on the posterior dentition is largely attributed to an organism's diet. However, some have suggested that dietary and environmental abrasives contribute more to the formation process than food, calling into question the applicability of dental microwear to the reconstruction of diet in the fossil record. Creating microwear under controlled conditions would benefit this debate, but requires accurately replicating the ora…
Dental microwear texture analysis of Homo sapiens sapiens: Foragers, farmers, and pastoralists
OBJECTIVES: The current study seeks to determine if a sample of foragers, farmers, and pastoralists are distinguishable based on their dental microwear texture signatures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included a sample of 719 individuals from 51 archeological sites (450 farmers, 192 foragers, 77 pastoralists). All were over age 12 and sexes were pooled. Using a Sensofar® white-light confocal profiler we collected dental microwear texture anal…

Reconstructing diet and behavior in bioarchaeological groups using incisor microwear texture analysis
Neanderthal teeth from moula‐guercy, Ardèche, France
Here we describe dental remains from a Neanderthal fossil assemblage from Moula‐Guercy, France. Our report demonstrates that the Moula‐Guercy hominid remains contribute important morphological, developmental, and behavioral data to understanding Neanderthal evolutionary history. We include gross comparative morphological descriptions and enamel surface microstructure and microwear data. These teeth reveal numerous characteristics that are diagnos…

Dietary and Behavioral Strategies of Neandertals and Anatomically Modern Humans: Evidence from Anterior Dental Microwear Texture Analysis
This article describes how decision-makers may use a relatively simple cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) method in policy formulation in human service organizations. The main contention of this article is that decision-makers need to know how to better effect policy decisions based on quantitative data. CEA is a decision-making tool which has been used sparingly in human service organizations, even though it is considered to be extremely useful i…
Incisor microwear textures of five bioarcheological groups
Dental microwear texture analysis has proven to be a valuable tool for inferring aspects of subsistence behaviour in human groups and diet in other mammals. Studies have to date been limited to molar teeth. Here we report on the first microwear texture analysis of incisors. Five bioarcheological groups were included in this analysis: Aleuts from various islands in the Bering Sea (n = 24), Arikara from the Mobridge site in South Dakota (n = 18), e…
Technical note: Dental microwear textures of “Phase I” and “Phase II” facets
The power stroke of mastication has been traditionally divided into two parts, one which precedes centric occlusion, and the other which follows it—“Phase I” and “Phase II,” respectively. Recent studies of primate mastication have called into question the role of Phase II in food processing, as they have found little muscle activity or accompanying bone strain following centric occlusion. That said, many researchers today look to Phase II facets …
