Bones and teeth are an important source of information about the lifestyle, health status and dietary habits of past populations.

Abstract
Bones and teeth are an important source of information about the lifestyle, health status and dietary habits of past populations. Modifications and lesions of the periodontal tissues also provide information about the health status and behavior of an individual or of an ancient population. In this paper a method to record some dento-alveolar features of both deciduous and permanent teeth is described. The forms that we propose make it easy to record the data in a Microsoft ® Excel sheet. The form for adults has been applied to two Roman Imperial age skeletal samples from northern Italy - Casalecchio di Reno (Bologna, II-V c. AD) (data not published) - and central Italy - Quadrella (I-IV c. AD, Isernia, Molise).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
