چکیده
This paper outlines the first methodology for recording dental enamel hypoplasia in the highcrowned dentition of modern and archaeological caprine teeth. The method has been developed and trialed on five caprine populations from Orkney (UK); two modern populations (Shetland and North Ronaldsay breeds) and three Neolithic assemblages from the archaeological sites of Knap of Howar, Skara Brae and Holm of Papa Westray. Problems associated with differential tooth wear, as well as the presence of coronal cementum are discussed, and recommendations are given on the identification and recording of hypoplastic dental defects in caprines.

Human deciduous mandibular molar incremental enamel development.
Quantitative studies of incremental markings retained within human enamel have reconstructed the duration and rate (crown and cusp formation times, initiation and completion, daily enamel secretion rates) of permanent tooth development. This approach has provided one way of estimating human age-at-death, and facilitated comparative dental studies of primate evolution. Similar applications from ...
متن کاملVertebral pathologies in two early modern period (16th-19th century) populations from Croatia.
In order to test to what degree Schmorl's nodes (SN), osteophytosis of the vertebral bodies (VO), and osteoarthritis of the articular facets (OA) are useful indicators of activity-related stress, an analysis of their frequencies and severity of expression was conducted in two early Modern period skeletal samples from Croatia--Koprivno and Sisak. Historic and contemporary ethnographic sources su...
متن کاملModel for the examination of evolutionary trends in tooth development.
Through the use of serial computerized tomography (C-t) scans, two distinct developmental stages can be identified in mature teeth. C-t scans thus provide a non-destructive method for assessing growth within individual teeth, as well as for comparison of the development of modern and fossil teeth. The second deciduous molar (DM2) and first permanent molar (M1) resemble one another morphological...
متن کاملMapping Human Movement Using Stable Oxygen Isotopic Ratio Mass Spectrometry: Potential Application to Forensic Science Demonstrated by a Modern Horse-human Study
The utility of stable oxygen isotope analysis for demonstrating human migration has been developed and demonstrated on archaeological human populations. The application of this approach to tracking human movement has seldom been applied within forensic science. This paper gives results from a stable oxygen isotope assessment of extant modern human and horse enamel 18O values recovered from toot...
متن کاملThe potential of statistical shape modelling for geometric morphometric analysis of human teeth in archaeological research
This paper introduces statistical shape modelling (SSM) for use in osteoarchaeology research. SSM is a full field, multi-material analytical technique, and is presented as a supplementary geometric morphometric (GM) tool. Lower mandibular canines from two archaeological populations and one modern population were sampled, digitised using micro-CT, aligned, registered to a baseline and statistica...
