• Survival and recovery of DNA from ancient teeth and bones (2011, background): “However, this situation is not unique to cementum; dentine is also exposed to the exterior environment through the open structure of the pulp cavity via the apical root tip, and via any cracks or cavities (Gilbert et al., 2005).”
• The Chemical and Microbial Degradation of Bones and Teeth (2007, background): “Recent evidence (Götherström et al., 2002; Wandeler et al., 2003; Gilbert et al., 2005, 2006) supports the view that the potential for post-mortem and post-excavation contamination of dentine is much lower than for bones (which are frequently handled by archaeologists and researchers).”
