Abstract
Ancient teeth can be analysed by archaeologists to uncover patterns of migration. “With some sleuthing, the chemical composition of a person’s tooth provides a mini-life history,” says Carolyn Freiwald, archaeologist and associate professor of Anthropology at the University of Mississippi, United States, who studies the biology and chemistry of teeth.
