3D models of molars - Diet of Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens from macrowear analysis of mandibular molars

This dataset contains 3D models of first and second lower molars that belong to Neanderthals, fossil Homo sapiens (from Middle and Upper Paleolithic) and recent modern humans with different surviving strategies (hunter-gatherers, pastoralists and early farmers). The 3D digital surface models were generated using a 55 mm resolution white-light scanning system (smartSCAN 3D, Breuckmann GmbH) after the obtaining of dental replicas by moulding the original dentition using a light viscosity polyvinylsiloxane silicone, ProvilH Novo Light C.D.2 (Heraeus Kulzer GmbH), which was filled with a special gypsum (Everest® Rock, KaVo).

本数据集收录了尼安德特人、化石智人（源于中晚更新世）以及近期现代人类（包括狩猎采集者、游牧民和早期农民）的第一、二磨牙的三维模型。三维数字表面模型系采用55毫米分辨率的白光扫描系统（smartSCAN 3D，Breuckmann GmbH）生成，该系统在获得牙模后，通过使用轻粘度聚硅氧烷硅橡胶ProvilH Novo Light C.D.2（Heraeus Kulzer GmbH）塑造原始牙齿，并填充特殊石膏（Everest® Rock，KaVo）而成。
