Comparison Of Attrition, Abscessing And Antemortem Tooth Loss Between The Mimbres And The Fort Ancient Period Populations, Jenna E. Horvat

Data was directly collected from the Mimbres sample by observing the dental arcade for the three dental pathologies. This is then compared to the previous research done on the …
