Abstract

Highlights: A new quantitative microscopic method for the identification of LEH is proposed. The method relies on enamel surface depth profiles to objectively identify defects. It is suitable when there is an absence of visible/continuous perikymata. Results compare favorably with existing microscopic and macroscopic methods. The method is designed to deal with worn archaeological dental assemblages
