La relation intime entre la mère et l’enfant pendant la grossesse et la petite enfance est un aspect encore peu exploré chez les humains du passé. L’étude des tissus dentaires minéralisés permet d’obtenir des informations sur ce lien à la fois biologique et culturel. En effet, les dents conservent un enregistrement permanent de l’histoire biologique de l’individu, de la vie intra-utérine aux premières années après la naissance et jusqu’au début de l’âge adulte. En outre, les tissus formés pendant la période prénatale enregistrent l’état de santé, le régime alimentaire et la mobilité de la dyade mère-enfant pendant la grossesse. L’histomorphométrie classique et l’histomorphométrie virtuelle non destructive constituent les approches les plus modernes pour étudier les trajectoires de croissance des nourrissons, les stress physiologiques et l’état de santé de la mère et du nourrisson. En outre, l’alimentation maternelle, les pratiques d’allaitement, le début du sevrage et les schémas de mobilité peuvent être reconstitués avec une haute résolution temporelle grâce à des analyses biogéochimiques élémentaires et isotopiques de l’émail dentaire basées sur le laser. En effet, la croissance et le développement humains, dès les premières phases de l’ontogenèse, sont fortement corrélés aux comportements alimentaires, y compris ceux de la mère pendant la grossesse. Des modèles sur l’incorporation des oligo-éléments dans l’émail dentaire et leur corrélation avec les principaux changements alimentaires ont été dérivés de l’analyse des dents déciduales exfoliées de nourrissons contemporains dont l’histoire biologique est bien connue. Ces modèles constituent la boîte à outils interprétative permettant de démêler les variations, même subtiles, des régimes alimentaires individuels à une résolution infra-hebdomadaire. Cette contribution présente une vue d’ensemble de la biogéochimie compositionnelle à haute résolution couplée à l’histomorphométrie dentaire en tant qu’outils permettant d’approfondir notre connaissance du lien mère-enfant à partir des tissus dentaires minéralisés et d’étudier, avec la plus haute résolution temporelle possible, les stratégies de survie et d’adaptation des femmes et des enfants
