This study seeks to contribute the current understanding of dietary variation in late Prehistory northeastern Iberian Peninsula by examining buccal dental microwear patterns alongside archeological data from same populations.
Intra-tooth or sequential stable isotope analyses are nowadays widely implemented in zooarchaeological research. Sequential isotopic have been mainly restricted to the mineral fraction of enamel, while a wider implementation dentine collagen has generally eluded, despite conforming an essential organic compound for paleodietary studies. In high-crowned teeth, grows oblique vertical axis growth and some challenges arise when trying isolate increments during sampling. Previous sampling...
Abstract Hypsodont teeth molars develop in a short lapse of time. Both dentine and enamel dental tissues do not regenerate once formed. This fact allows the reconstruction isotopic sequences covering moments individual's life span, useful approach current zooarchaeological paleontological studies. Sampling design usually follows serial or sequential extraction bands perpendicular to tooth growth axis, from apex root. However, develops following secretion layers oblique vertical this pattern...
