Description
Summary:Three human teeth from the Middle Palaeolithic archaeological levels of Arbreda Cave (Serinyà, Catalonia, NE Iberian Peninsula). The teeth, two molars (one right dm2 and one right M2) from Level N (older than 120 kyr) and one P3 from Level J (dated between 71 and 44 kyr), belong to a minimum number of two individuals: one adult and one juvenile. The premolar from Mousterian Level J, the best preserved of the three teeth, exhibits characteristics similar to those from our comparative sample of Homo neanderthalensis, such as the crown measurements, EDJ traits, enamel thickness and volume of the pulp cavity. In the two teeth from Level N, although their high degree of dental wear and poor state of preservation preclude definitive taxonomic designations, the crown dimensions and some tissue proportions point to probable assignation to Homo neanderthalensis.
