• Resumen

  • Dental microwear analyses have shown important information to reflect aspects of diet and feeding behavior in ancient human groups. In bioarchaeological populations, though microscopic wear on anterior tooth surfaces has often been used to infer aspects reflecting cultural activities, little attention has been paid to dietary implications. Quantitatie works on anterior tooth surfaces present excellent data to explain differences in subsistence economy in ancient and modern human populations from different ecological niches. In the study we report new data from microscopic scratches on anterior tooth surfaces from ancient groups.
