Dr. Krueger's Research at European Soc. for the Study of Human Evolution

Dr. Kristin Krueger had a poster at the European Society for the Study of Human Evolution meetings in Florence, Italy on September 20, 2014. The poster title was "Dental microwear texture analysis and the diet of the Scladina child." She and her co-authors completed dental microwear texture analysis on the Neandertal child found at the Scladina cave in Belgium. They found that the child was subsisting on tough, abrasive foods (probably meat with grit inclusions) and did not participate in non-dietary anterior tooth use behaviors.
