Abstract

To infer the diet and cultural behaviours of Islamic communities during the medieval period in Portugal, 43 adult skeletons (13 females, 27 males, and 3 individuals of undetermined sex) from the medieval Islamic necropolis of Santarém were analysed. A total of 779 teeth were macroscopically observed to score dental wear and dental alterations as enamel chipping, notching, transversal grooves observed on the mesiodistal occlusal surfaces (TGMOS), and lingual surface attrition of the maxillary anterior teeth (LSAMAT). Occlusal wear was moderate. Chipping was recorded in 13.08% (98/749) teeth from 28 individuals, and notching affected 3.87% (29/749) belonging to 17 individuals. Five sub jects have transverse grooves, observed on the mesiodistal occlusal surfaces in 3% (23/750) of the teeth. LSAMAT was observed in 41.25% (66/160) of the anterior upper teeth belonging to 20 individuals. Combinations of different alterations were investigated: LSAMAT–chipping, LSAMAT–TGMOS, and LSAMAT–chipping–TGMOS. These could be related to hard food, extra-masticatory behaviours, chewing unknown substances, or trauma.

在葡萄牙圣塔姆的一个中世纪伊斯兰墓地出土的个体的非典型牙齿磨损模式

为了推断葡萄牙中世纪伊斯兰社区的饮食和文化行为，分析了来自中世纪伊斯兰圣地Santarém的43具成年骨骼（13具女性、27具男性和3具性别不明的个体）。共对779颗牙齿进行了宏观观察，以记录牙齿磨损和牙齿变化，如在近中牙合面（TGMOS）上观察到的牙釉质碎裂、缺口、横向凹槽和上颌前牙的舌面磨损（LSAMT）。咬合磨损程度适中。28个个体的13.08%（98/749）的牙齿出现碎裂，17个个体的3.87%（29/749）牙齿出现缺口。在3%（23/750）的牙齿中，近中位咬合面上观察到五个亚目标有横向凹槽。LSAMAT在20个个体的41.25%（66/160）的前上牙中观察到。研究了不同变化的组合：LSAMAT–削片、LSAMAT-TGMOS和LSAMAT——削片-TGMOS。这些可能与坚硬的食物、额外的咀嚼行为、咀嚼未知物质或创伤有关。

期刊介绍： Anthropological Science (AS) publishes research papers, review articles, brief communications, and material reports in physical anthropology and related disciplines. The scope of AS encompasses all aspects of human and primate evolution and variation. We welcome research papers in molecular and morphological variation and evolution, genetics and population biology, growth and development, biomechanics, anatomy and physiology, ecology and behavioral biology, osteoarcheology and prehistory, and other disciplines relating to the understanding of human evolution and the biology of the human condition.
