Sažetak
Existing bioarchaeological studies have not fully explored the analytical characterization of dentine's chemical structure. Accordingly, this study used ATR-FTIR to analyze the dentine of 30 human teeth from six archaeological sites in Jordan dating from the Early Roman to the Early Byzantine periods. In addition to collagen cross-linking, we analyzed the factors (ratios) of phosphate/amide I, carbonate/phosphate, and A-type carbonate/B-type carbonate that may influence dentine strength. The results of the study point to statistically insignificant differences in the factors affecting the tensile strength of dentine and thus tooth loading at the site level, while a statistically significant one is found among sites. The differences in these ratios are found to be attributed to tooth loading and age at death.
