Dental microwear texture analysis of Homo sapiens sapiens: Foragers, farmers, and pastoralists

Christopher W Schmidt et al. Am J Phys Anthropol. 2019 Jun.

Abstract

Objectives: The current study seeks to determine if a sample of foragers, farmers, and pastoralists are distinguishable based on their dental microwear texture signatures.

Materials and methods: The study included a sample of 719 individuals from 51 archeological sites (450 farmers, 192 foragers, 77 pastoralists). All were over age 12 and sexes were pooled. Using a Sensofar® white-light confocal profiler we collected dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) data from a single first or second molar from each individual. We leveled and cleaned data clouds following standard procedures and analyzed the data with Sfrax® and Toothfrax® software. The DMTA variables were complexity and anisotropy. Statistics included ANOVA with partial eta squared and Hedges's g. We also performed a follow-up K-means cluster analysis.

Results: We found significant differences between foragers and farmers and pastoralists for complexity and anisotropy, with foragers having greater complexity than either the farmers or the pastoralists. The farmers and pastoralists had greater anisotropy than the foragers. The Old World foragers had significantly higher anisotropy values than New World foragers. Old and New World farmers did not differ. Among the Old World farmers, those dating from the Neolithic through the Late Bronze Age had higher complexity values than those from the Iron Age through the medieval period. The cluster analysis discerned foragers and farmers but also indicated similarity between hard food foragers and hard food farmers.

Discussion: Our findings reaffirm that DMTA is capable of distinguishing human diets. We found that foragers and farmers, in particular, differ in their microwear signatures across the globe. There are some exceptions, but nothing that would be unexpected given the range of human diets and food preparation techniques. This study indicates that in general DMTA is an efficacious means of paleodietary reconstruction in humans.

What is the difference between foraging and food production quizlet?

Foraging uses only wild plants and animals, while food production cultivates and domesticates them.

Which of the following is characteristics of foraging societies?

Which of the following is a characteristic of most foraging societies? periodic cycles of cultivation and fallowing.

Which of the below is not a characteristic of a food collecting foraging society?

All of the following traits are characteristic of foraging (food-collecting) societies EXCEPT: social hierarchies reflected in ownership of land and wealthy possessions.

Which statement about culture is false?

Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is C) Culture includes religion, but not political ideologies. Culture includes political ideologies of people because political ideologies are formed on the basis of values and beliefs of the people in it.
