Summary
The circannual rhythm and continuous growth of cementum throughout life have been seen by many researchers as offering an exciting window of potential information of life history recorded in the shape, texture, and chemistry of its increments. A host of studies have thus been presented studying the relationship between these factors and various life history events affecting mammal physiology, most notably pregnancy and parturition. This chapter reviews the literature that has tested this assumption directly, in animals and in humans. Also, we offer theoretical and methodological insights into future advances in cementochronology specifically for identifying and recording these life-history events.
