| Summary |
"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. This is a reference source for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, academic researchers, and professionals in the social and life sciences, as well as clinicians."--Jacket |
