Bringing together a variety of today’s most accomplished dental
researchers, Technique and Application in Dental Anthropology covers
a range of topics germane to the study of human and other primate teeth.
The chapters encompass work on both individuals and samples, ranging
from prehistoric through recent times. The focus throughout the book is
the methodology required for the study of modern dental anthropology,
comprising the most up-to-date scientific methods in use today – ranging
from simple observation to advanced computer-based analyses – which
can be utilized by the reader in their own dental research. Originating from
the twentieth anniversary meeting of the Dental Anthropology Association, this is a valuable reference source for advanced undergraduate and
graduate students, academic researchers, and professionals in the social
and life sciences, as well as clinicians.
