Human tooth enamel must withstand the cyclic contact forces, wear, and corrosion
processes involved with typical oral functions. Furthermore, unlike other human tissues …

Dental microwear texture (DMT) analysis is commonly applied for dietary reconstruction of
vertebrates. The temporal scale on which dietarily informative microscopic wear forms on …

External abrasives ingested along with the herbivore diet are considered main contributors
to dental wear, though how the different sizes and concentrations of these abrasives …

This paper provides results from a suite of analyses made on human dental material from
the Late Palaeolithic to Neolithic strata of the cave site of Grotta Continenza situated in the …

Stable isotope and dental-microwear analysis are methods commonly used to reconstruct
dietary habits in modern and ancient human populations. However, it is rare that they are …

Dental microwear has been used for decades to reconstruct the diets of fossil hominins and
bioarchaeological populations. The basic theory has been that hard‐brittle foods (eg, nuts …

This work presents the results of a combination of different proxies, such as animal and plant
remains, isotope analysis, and dental microwear, for the different chrono-cultural phases …

Tooth wear in primates is caused by aging and ecological factors. However, comparative
data that would allow us to delineate the contribution of each of these factors are lacking …

Dental microwear analyses have become a standard part of paleobiological research (see
[1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6] for reviews). While informative, many microwear interpretations are …

Objectives Dental microwear is a promising tool to reconstruct animals' diet because it
reflects the interplay between the enamel surface and the food items recently consumed …
