Abstract: 

Paleopathology enables us to understand the nature, causes and frequency
of diseases of past populations. This interdisciplinary research
enlarges the scope of methods and techniques which leads to a better
knowledge of, in particular, the etiology and the epidemiology of
ancient diseases. Furthermore, the results of paleopathological
investigations on skeletal remains of prehistoric and historic
populations illuminate living conditions, such as nutrition, housing and
working conditions in ancient times. Enamel hypoplasias are found in
many populations all around the world and from all time periods (cf.
Fig. 1 a, b). Thus, anthropologists and paleopathologists are very
familiar with this tooth morphology.
