Summary: Multidisciplinary analyses on ancient dental calculus can reconstruct habits and diet of ancient human populations, investigate individual health status, and provide information on past environments. In this study, both metagenomic and microscopic analysis were applied to ancient human dental calculus from a population in Central Italy during the Copper Age. The results suggested an agricultural subsistence and a diet enriched in complex carbohydrates with low soluble fiber. The presence of oral pathogens correlated with the high consumption of carbohydrates and supported the paleopathological evidence. Overall, the molecular and microscopic analysis provided complementary data for reconstructing the past life conditions of ancient human populations.

Summary: This study presents the results of isotopic and dental calculus analyses of individuals buried in Roman and medieval cemeteries in Lamon, Italy. The findings suggest a continuity of geographic residence and a diet rich in animal proteins among the populations. The analysis of dental calculus provides insights into the types of crops consumed and potential differences in cooking processes between the Roman and medieval periods, as well as potential medicinal treatments.

Summary: The analysis of dental calculus is increasingly important in bio-archaeological research. This study examines dental calculus from an urban skeletal assemblage in Manchester, England, revealing valuable insights into the diet and environment of the Post-Medieval period. The results highlight significant economic, social, and environmental changes during the Industrial period in England.

Summary: This paper examines human mobility in Byzantine Cyprus using the Hill of Agios Georgios in Nicosia as a case study. Strontium isotopic data is analyzed to identify non-local individuals and determine their frequency during different periods. Dental calculus microdebris analysis is conducted to explore imported plants and differences in diet and environment between local and non-local individuals. The results show the presence of non-local individuals in both periods, with a higher frequency in the Late Byzantine/Frankish assemblage.

Summary: The field of dental calculus research has expanded rapidly due to studies on human genomes and oral pathogens. However, there is a lack of progress in understanding the distribution of oral pathogens in animal populations. This research is important due to the potential for zoonotic transmission from animals to humans. This study analyzes previously published data on oral microbiomes recovered from animal skeletal remains, highlighting the diversity of oral ecologies across mammals.

Summary: The study of ancient human dental calculus is increasingly important in osteoarchaeology, human palaeoecology, and environmental archaeology. Micro-remains and biomolecules retrieved from dental calculus can provide important insights into the past human-environment relationship. However, their connection to skeletal remains is often incomplete. This paper critically reviews the evidence from dental calculus and explores its potential and limitations in relation to osteoarchaeological parameters.

Summary: By studying caves in Southern Italy and Sicily, including human burials, researchers have found valuable evidence about human adaptations and subsistence during the Upper Palaeolithic. While there is much information about the exploitation of animals, little is known about the role of plants in the diet. This study combines carpological data with vegetal micro-debris in dental calculus to provide new clues about the dietary role of plant foods in the Late Glacial period.

Summary: Dental calculus and other preserved microbiome substrates are potential targets for reconstructing past populations' diets. However, accurate identification of consumed plants and animals through DNA analysis is hindered by microbial richness and incomplete databases. This study highlights the challenges and provides recommendations for validating dietary DNA from ancient dental calculus, emphasizing caution in interpreting diet from archaeological microbiome substrates.

Summary: Ancient dental calculus provides valuable information about diet, ecology, and ethnobotanical practices of ancient communities. The study of tartar from an Imperial Roman man with a rare jaw condition revealed that he reached adulthood by consuming well-cooked and semi-liquid food. The analysis of pollen grains also suggested the unintentional or intentional use of certain plants for meals and therapeutic purposes. This research sheds light on the life of this individual and contributes to our understanding of ancient human societies.

Summary: A study on Neanderthals in Chagyrskaya Cave in Southern Siberia, Russia analyzed carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes in bone collagen and dental calculus, revealing a diet of hunting large- and medium-sized ungulates and consuming plants.
