Resumen

Este artículo presenta un análisis holístico de los restos dentales pertenecientes a tres individuos infantiles del yacimiento de la Edad del Bronce de la Cueva de Valdavara (Becerréa, Lugo), mediante diferentes aproximaciones metodológicas, como es el microdesgaste dental, el estudio anatómico externo e interno, y el análisis de patologías. El objetivo de este estudio es obtener una visión más completa de los factores bioculturales (salud oral, dieta, procesamiento del alimento…) que afectaron a la vida de estos individuos. Los resultados muestran una buena salud oral en los tres individuos, siendo destacable la presencia de agenesia dental en el individuo III identificada mediante el análisis con tomografía computarizada de haz cónico (CBCT). Finalmente, los patrones del microdesgaste dental en la superficie bucal revelan una alta abrasividad de los alimentos consumidos, posiblemente por un escaso procesamiento previo de los mismos.
