Cíle předmětu
The aim of this course is to show how dental remains can be used in bioanthropological research. It gives students the keys to Identify all the elements of human jaws and dentition together with a detailed introduction to the methodology (micro and macro, destructive and non-destructive) used in the study of teeth to reconstruct individual life and population trajectory regardless its chronological and/or geographical context.
Výstupy z učení
During this course, the students will be able to:
1) identify the human dentition,
2) understand the variation in size and shape of the dentition in terms of evolution,
3) assess age at death and sex on the dental remains and exploit the data in paleodemographic premises,
4) record the most common types of dental pathological lesions, metric and non-metric dental traits,
5) discuss dietary practices as a fundamental aspect of human life, as well as ancestry, mobility and social identity.
After completing the course, students should be able to come out with a guidance on how to deal with human dental remains from excavation to restoring in order to create the right protocol with the suitable dental methods and to produce osteological reports.
