Description
In 1963, a new, distinct area of anthropological inquiry was established - the study of the teeth as a key to the biology and behaviour of past and living populations. This book chronicles the dynamic progress made in the field over the last 25 years. It covers a diverse range of topics, focusing on a variety of research questions and investigative agendas of current interest to dental anthropologists.
