这篇论文提炼了目前的方法来老化的山地瞪羚(Gazella Gazella)，这是最常见的物种之一，史前人类在黎凡特南部狩猎。最重要的是，我们提出了一种新的牙齿磨损方案，用于老化瞪羚的下乳第四前磨牙(DP4)、下恒磨牙(M1、M2、M3)和下第四前磨牙(P4)。还提供了用于完整下颌骨和单个牙齿和骨融合阶段的更广泛的磨损阶段。最后，牙齿磨损和骨融合数据的比较表明，这两种方法可以在瞪羚成年(大约18个月大)的重要过渡阶段联系在一起。瞪羚骨骼融合的完成直接对应于DP4被P4取代和M3开始磨损。这些老化指标的一致性允许直接比较瞪羚的骨融合和牙齿磨损数据。
This paper refines current methods for aging mountain gazelle (Gazella gazella), one of the most common species hunted by prehistoric humans in the southern Levant. Most importantly, we present a new tooth wear scheme for aging the lower deciduous fourth premolar (dP4), the lower permanent molars (M1, M2, M3) and the lower fourth premolar (P4) of the gazelle. Broader wear stages for complete mandibles and individual teeth and bone fusion stages are also provided. Finally, a comparison of the tooth wear and bone fusion data indicates that the two methods can be linked at the important transition when a gazelle reaches adulthood (ca. 18 months of age). The completion of the fusion of the gazelle skeleton corresponds directly to the replacement of the dP4by the P4and the beginning of wear of the M3. The coincidence of these aging indicators allows for direct comparison of gazelle bone fusion and tooth wear data.
