Sažetak
SEM analyis contains researches of tooth enamel surfaces of two populations. First group of samples is tooth enamel of prehistorically anacestor from Vučedol and the second group of samples is enamel of modern Croatian citizen. Even on small number of human teeth samples from cooperage site of Vučedol (3, 000 BC) and todays Croatian people, we can conclude about chewing biometry of prehistorically ancestors and todays modern Croatian people, comparing interspecifically the morphology of enamel microdefects. With the interspecific comparison of morphology changes on tooth occlusal surfaces, we can connect the size and shape of abrasive particles and diet with microdefects of tooth enamel.
