The Southeast and South Coast of Brazil was inhabited during most of the Holocene by shellmound builders. Although there are cultural differences in the archaeological record between regions, it is still debatable how these differences may relate to different population histories. Here, we contribute to this discussion by exploring dental morphological affinities between several regional series.

通过牙齿形态推断巴西南部和东南部贝冢建设者的人口历史

在全新世的大部分时间里，贝冢建造者都居住在巴西东南部和南部海岸。尽管不同地区的考古记录存在文化差异，但这些差异如何与不同的人口历史相关仍存在争议。在这里，我们通过探索几个区域系列之间的牙齿形态相似性来为这一讨论做出贡献。
