  • Title: Crown dimensions of deciduous teeth from prehistoric India.
    Author: Lukacs JR.
    Journal: Am J Phys Anthropol; 1981 Jun; 55(2):261-6. PubMed ID: 7020431.
    Abstract:
    Mean mesiodistal and buccolingual diameters are presented for deciduous teeth from the important. Chalcolithic site of Inamgaon (1400-700 B.C), a prehistoric farming community on the Deccan Plateau of western India. The deciduous teeth from Inamgaon are consistently larger than deciduous teeth of modern populations of European descent and smaller than the deciduous teeth of modern Australian aboriginals. Comparative data for prehistoric deciduous teeth are rare, especially for populations of southern Asia. The deciduous teeth of Mesolithic Europeans are comparable in size to certain dimensions of the Inamgaon teeth, and a small sample of deciduous teeth from the Iron Age site of Pomparippu (Sri Lanka) exhibits larger anterior teeth and smaller molar teeth than does the sample from Inamgaon.
