Tooth enamel and dentin are the most studied hard tissues used to
explore hominin evolution, life history, diet, health, and culture.
Surprisingly, cementum (the interface between the alveolar bone and
the root dentin) remains the least studied dental tissue even
though its unique growth, which is continuous throughout life, has
been acknowledged since the 1950s. This interdisciplinary volume
presents state-of-the-art studies in cementum analysis and its
broad interpretative potential in anthropology. The first section
focuses on cementum biology; the second section presents optimized
multi-species and standardized protocols to estimate age and season
at death precisely. The final section highlights innovative
applications in zooarchaeology, paleodemography, bioarchaeology,
paleoanthropology, and forensic anthropology, demonstrating how
cementochronology can profoundly affect anthropological theories.
With a wealth of illustrations of cementum histology and
accompanying online resources, this book provides the perfect
toolkit for scholars interested in studying past and current human
and animal populations.
