| Sumario: | The purpose of this paper is to examine patterns of metric variation in teeth, in order to contribute to the understanding of biological relationships among colonial-era populations that inhabited northern Mendoza (Argentina). To do this, we analyzed the permanent teeth of 27 individuals of both sexes from Mendoza’s Foundational Area. Mesiodistal and buccolingual diameters of the dental crown of four classes of teeth were measured. Intraobserver error, sexual dimorphism, and the influence of environmental stress were evaluated. For biodistance analyses, one-way ANOVA and PCA were performed and the distributions of individuals by tooth size were plotted in scatter plots. Great variation in dental sizes was found, with no differentiation by time period or socioeconomic group, in contrast to previously-reported results from investigations based on cranial and postcranial morphological variation. |
