Developmental defects of enamel, such as pathological striae and linear enamel hypoplasias, were utilized to understand the physiological stresses these populations experienced. High frequencies of pathological striae were found in the enamel of the Native Americans living during Spanish colonialism. Low frequencies of pathological striae and high frequencies of linear enamel hypoplasias were found in the enamel of Early Archaic hunter-gatherers. This project found that pathological striae and linear enamel hypoplasias occur at significantly different ages across all populations suggesting that pathological striae and linear enamel hypoplasias have unique sources of stress. It is believed that the pathological striae observed in these populations occurred from acute episodes of weanling diarrhea while the linear enamel hypoplasias resulted from prolonged periods of malnutrition. 2020-09-07 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1593185608125034 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1593185608125034 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
