However, there is still little knowledge about how dental tissue proportions differ between modern human groups. In this study, two samples of European and African individuals were compared to assess the possible differences and similarities present in the dental tissue dimensions of their permanent canines. For this purpose, the volumes and surface areas of the coronal dentine and pulp complex and the enamel cap of 127 canines were measured by microcomputed tomography. The results show the existence of interpopulation variability in the dental tissue pattern of both samples, which is mainly due to the presence of a larger enamel component in the African population, while dentine seems to play a less critical role in the differences described between both dental samples. We also observed a similar pattern of sexual dimorphism in the dental tissue proportions of European and African canines, but in this case, the intrapopulation variability was mainly due to the presence of a greater dentine component in males. Therefore, because the dimensions of dental tissues vary at both inter- and intrapopulation levels in modern human groups, our results highlight the importance of selecting comparative samples that are geographically mixed and sex-balanced for future paleoanthropological investigations on dental tissue patterns of extinct and extant species to avoid overestimating or underestimating any possible similarities or differences.","PeriodicalId":50751,"journal":{"name":"Anthropological Science","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135057036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the Hobi shell-mound site in Tahara City (c. 3000–2400 BP), two cases of banjo-shuseki-bo have been so far documented, referred to as Ichi-go-shuseki (Accumulation No. 1) and B-shuseki (Accumula-tion B). During the 2010–2013 excavations at the Hobi site, we discovered a new case of banjo-shuse-ki-bo (named Accumulation 2010) and retrieved all the bones (1331 samples). Here we report anthropological data from this unpublished sample and confirm the differences between the three accumulations (2010, No. 1, and B) and individual skeletons of primary burial origin from the same archaeological site. The Accumulation 2010 bones contained 13 individuals in total: eight adult males; one subadult (late adolescent) male; three adult females; and a 1.5-year-old child of undetermined sex, thus indicating a male-dominated group. It was also found that the body-part composition of Accumulation 2010 exhibited a site-specific bias, specifically skewed toward the lower limb bones such as the femur and tibia, al most equivalent to those of Accumulations No. 1 and B. In comparisons of the femur between the ban-jo-shuseki-bo human bones and individual skeletons, no systematic size differences were found in either sex; however, the male femora from the three (2010, No. 1, and B) accumulations showed a significant -ly/near-significantly greater pilasteric index than those of the individual skeletons. One possible expla nation for why the femur pilasteric structure was so developed in the Hobi banjo-shuseki-bo males is that people who worked in physically demanding labor during their lives or a specific kinship group may have been chosen as the subjects of the banjo-shuseki-bo burials.","PeriodicalId":50751,"journal":{"name":"Anthropological Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67029750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
