Beschreibung
Teeth yield remarkable information on humans, animals and on the health, hygiene and diet of ancient communities. In this fully revised and up-dated edition of Teeth, Simon Hillson draws together a mass of information on dental studies in archaeology and related disciplines. He shows how teeth can help identify remains, estimate age and evaluate diet. The treatment of mammals is extended to include mammals of North America and northern Asia. The book introduces dental anatomy, variation in tooth size and shape and provides charts, tables and details of techniques.
