Exploring the Utility of Dental Pathological Conditions in Dental Radiographic Comparisons
Dental forensic identifications can be achieved through comparative dental analysis(CDA) by comparing a decedent's postmortem (PM) dental records to a suspected match's antemortem (AM) dental records. Dental records are particularly useful for CDA, because the number of concordant dental …

The biological affinities of several Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon populations as shown by dental morphology
… the applicability of some of the techniques of dental anthropology to begin to provide answers to certain questions facing British archaeology. The question directly confronted in this thesis is how the change in fifth century Britain, manifested by a change in cultural material from …

Ties that bind: investigating Hyksos provenance and migration using dental morphology.
… of preservation, biodistance was explored using dental nonmetric traits and the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS). The traits have been selected due to their repeatability, resistance to attrition, lack of sexual dimorphism and an underlying genetic component. The …

Dental morphology and variation across holocene Khoesan people of Southern Africa
Dental analyses of the Holocene Khoesan populations of southern Africa can provide insight into the biological evolution of an anthropologically important people. There have been many studies of dental variation in Holocene populations of Europe and the Americas, but few of African populations. …

Infection and Complexity Embodied on Enamel: Oral Health and Dental Pathology at Ancón, Peru
… research showing that oral pathology and dental calculus can preserve durable evidence for diet, practice, and lived experience where other lines of evidence are limited or absent. To address these questions, the dissertation combines macroscopic dental paleopathology with dental calculus …

Dental Variation in Central Mexican Latinx Individuals
… of a Central Mexican Latinx sample through dental morphological variables and odontometric crown and cervical measurements. Biological distance, or biodistance statistics, fuzzy c-means analyses, and linear discriminant function analysis were utilized to analyze this variation. The Latinx …

Root Problems in Human Variation
This dissertation is an investigation of post-canine tooth root morphology in a global sample of modern humans. Tooth roots are variable in number, shape and orientation, and internal canal form and number do not necessarily covary with external morphology. However, this variation is poorly …

Age-at-Formation and Duration of Linear Enamel Hypoplasia and Accentuated (Pathological) Striae in Ancient, Modern, and Forensic Populations as an Indicator of Differential Developmental Stress
Under the premise that individuals can embody their sociocultural environment, this project was undertaken to analyze differences in age-at-formation and duration of linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) and accentuated striae (AS) in the mandibular canines of pre-Hispanic Maya individuals from Belize, …

Health, Nutrition, and Disease in Rural Northern Jordan: A Study of Enamel Defects Related to Childhood Stress in Skeletal Samples from the Bronze Age to the Byzantine Period
<p>Northern Jordan has seen periods of climate change, political transformation, and economic prosperity between the Late Bronze Age to the end of the Byzantine period. This research tests the assumption that the rural agricultural communities of this region were undernourished by examining the …

Expression of fluctuating asymmetry in primate teeth: Analyzing the role of growth duration
… what extent growth duration was associated with dental FA in primates. This potential association between growth duration and FA was first examined in the non-sexually selected first molar. First molar FA was compared between species based on crown formation times (CFTs) and life history (LH) …

From the Mouths of Babes: Using Incremental Enamel Microstructures to Evaluate the Applicability of the Moorrees Method of Dental Formation to the Estimation of Age of Prehistoric Native American Children
… 1) the appropriateness of applying traditional dental aging methods derived from a Euro-American population to prehistoric Native Americans from the Ohio Valley and 2) the utility of incremental microstructures of dental enamel. Enamel microstructures such as perikymata and cross striations have …
