Dataset on the dental morphology and occlusal dental wear of pre-colonial societies of the South and Southeast Coast of Brazil

This dataset compiles information on dental morphology and occlusal dental wear of 431 individuals exhumed from coastal and riverine sites of the South and Southeast Coast of Brazil, dated between approximately 10,000 to 1,000 years before present. Dental traits were scored according to the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS) (Scott and Irish, 2017; Turner II et al., 1991). Few additional mandibular traits were added following Hauser and Stefano (1989). Occlusal dental wear was scored according to the method described in Smith (1984). Sex and age at death estimations derive from previous studies (Estevam, 2020; Fischer, 2012; Neves et al., 2005; Silva, 2005; Tognoli, 2016; Wesolowski, 2007). When this information was not available from previous studies, it was assessed by the first author (Fidalgo, 2021) using standard protocol methods (Buikstra and Ubelaker, 1994). Further detailed information and description of each variable can be consulted within the “description” and “dental grades” sheets in the excel file. The dataset is part of a PhD project developed at the Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia da Universidade de São Paulo, carried by Daniel Fidalgo and advised by Veronica Wesolowski and Mark Hubbe (Fidalgo, 2021). Manuscripts have already been published using this data (Fidalgo et al., 2021a, 2021b). All research was funded by Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP), grants 17/20637-4 and 19/18289-3. It was also supported by Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) grant 001.本数据集收录了巴西南部及东南沿海与河滨遗址出土的431具个体的牙体形态与牙合面磨耗相关信息，其年代距今约10000至1000年。牙体性状评分依据亚利桑那州立大学牙体人类学系统（Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System, ASUDAS）进行，评分标准源自Scott与Irish（2017、Turner II等人（1991）的研究。另有少量下颌骨性状参照Hauser与Stefano（1989的标准进行补充评分。牙合面磨耗程度评分依据Smith（1984提出的方法进行评定。个体的性别与死亡年龄估算结果源自已有研究（Estevam，2020；Fischer，2012；Neves等人，2005；Silva，2005；Tognoli，2016；Wesolowski，2007）。若已有研究未提供上述相关信息，则由第一作者Fidalgo（2021依据Buikstra与Ubelaker（1994的标准实验方案进行评估。各变量的详细信息与说明可查阅本Excel文件中的“description”及“dental grades工作表。本数据集为Daniel Fidalgo于圣保罗大学考古与民族学博物馆（Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia da Universidade de São Paulo）开展的博士研究项目的组成部分，该项目由Veronica Wesolowski与Mark Hubbe担任指导教师（Fidalgo，2021）。已有基于本数据集的研究论文发表（Fidalgo等人，2021a、2021b）。本研究全部经费由圣保罗州研究资助基金会（Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo, FAPESP）资助，资助编号为17/20637-4与19/18289-3。本研究同时获得巴西高等教育人员发展协调局（Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, CAPES）编号为001的项目资助。
