| Summary: | Dental analysis of the individuals excavated from the Roca Verde Site in southern Peru demonstrated a relationship between dental pathology and sex-related occupational activities in a Formative Period population.

Macroscopic and microscopic investigations of the dentition provided evidence for a sex-related occupational dichotomy. |
