New insights into the consumption of maize and other food plants in the pre-Columbian Caribbean from starch grains trapped in human dental calculus (2012, background): “Generally, medium to large calculus deposits are thought to have accumulated over at least a number of years (Brothwell, 1981; Li et al., 2010; Henry and Piperno, 2008; Piperno and Dillehay, 2008).”
Evaluating microfossil content of dental calculus from Brazilian sambaquis (2010, methodology): “…cultivation, methods of food preparation, and, in comparison with dental pathology, the relation of diet to dental disease (Babot, 2006; Beck and Torrence, 2006; Hardy et al., 2009; Henry and Piperno, 2008; Loy, 1994; Loy et al., 1992; Reinhard et al., 2001; Walshaw, 1999; Wesolowski et al., 2007).”
Starch Granules, Dental Calculus and New Perspectives on Ancient Diet (2009, background): “There has recently been renewed interest (Boyadjian et al., 2007; Henry and Piperno, 2008) in dental”
Neanderthal diets in central and southeastern Mediterranean Iberia (2013, background): “In multiple studies, both modern and ancient dental calculus has been demonstrated to entrap food remains, such as starches and phytoliths (Armitage, 1975; Boyadjian et al., 2007; Henry and Piperno, 2008; Piperno and Dillehay, 2008).”
Changes in starch grain morphologies from cooking (2009, unknown): “, 2008) pottery (Crowther, 2005), and dental calculus (Boyadjian et al., 2007; Henry and Piperno, 2008; Piperno and Dillehay, 2008), and have been used to document diets of ancient animal and human groups, including plant domestication (Barton, 2007; Fullagar et al.”
