| Abstract | Background and purpose: Human teeth are due to their durability frequently the only source of biological, social, and demographic data about past populations and individuals. The purpose of the study was to identify two teeth dating from the prehistoric period. Material and methods: We analysed the morphological and metrical characteristics and histological structure of two excavated prehistoric teeth and compared them with deciduous teeth collected from contemporary Slovene children. Results: The morphological and metrical characteristics of both prehistoric teeth were similar or identical to those of deciduous incisors from contemporary children. The histological structure of enamel and dentine also corresponded to that of human deciduous teeth. Conclusions: The examined teeth dating from the prehistoric period are most probably human deciduous incisors; one is a maxillary left lateral incisor and the other a mandibular left central or lateral incisor. | |
| Summary | Izhodišče in namen: Zobje so zaradi obstojnosti neredko edini vir bioloških, socialnih in demografskih podatkov o nekdanjih Ijudstvih ter posameznikih. Namen študije je bil ugotoviti vrsto dveh zob iz predzgodovinskega obdobja. Gradivo in način dela: Primerjali smo oblikovne in merske lastnosti ter zgradbo dveh izkopanih zob iz predzgodovinskega obdobja in mlečnih sekalcev današnjih slovenskih otrok. Izsledki: Oblikovne in merske lastnosti zob iz predzgodovinskega obdobja so bile podobne ali enake kakor pri mlečnih sekalcih današnjih slovenskih otrok, tudi zgradba sklenine in dentina je ustrezala človeškim mlečnim zobem. Zaključki: Zoba iz predzgodovinskega obdobja sta zelo verjetno človeška mlečna sekalca; eden je drugi zgornji levi mlečni sekalec, eden prvi ali drugi spodnji levi mlečni sekalec. | |
