| Title |
Reconstructing seasonality in African bovids using dental microwear |
| Date |
2024 |
| Description |
Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) examines microscopic pits and scratches on teeth to reconstruct diet from the last month of an individual's life. This information is useful in zooarchaeological research because understanding an animal's diet garners insight into its environment. |

This project examines the DMTA of modern African Bovidae species to determine if seasonal dietary changes can be observed. If a difference can be found in the dental microwear of specimens that died during different seasons, seasonal changes in diet can be inferred. This poster was presented at the Utah Conference of Undergraduate Research, at Utah Valley University on February 16th, 2024. |
