Dental Development Workshop

Dental development is critical for estimating age in juvenile skeletal remains, but both environmental and behavioral factors affect patterns of eruption across human groups. Dr. Helen Liversidge and Dr. Kyra Stull will share their diverse perspectives on methodology and practical approaches to age estimation from dental development, as well as considerations for developmental diversity over time and across our species. The workshop is intended for students and professionals of all levels.
