“…As mentioned above, many proposed and widely used adult age‐estimation methods rely on visual assessment of macroscopic features and qualitative scoring protocols. However, as have been described in AJPA , there are quantitative alternatives based on osteon remodeling (Chan, Crowder, & Rogers, ; Ericksen, ; Kerley, ; Kerley & Ubelaker, ; Stout & Paine, ; Turner‐Walker & Mays, ), root dentin translucency (Drusini, Calliari, & Volpe, ), reduction of the coronal pulp cavity because of the formation of secondary dentin (Drusini, Toso, & Ranzato, ; Fabbri et al, ), and tooth‐cementum annulations (cementochronology) (Charles, Condon, Cheverud, & Buikstra, ; Condon, Charles, Cheverud, & Buikstra, ; Naylor, Miller, Stokes, & Stott, ; Wittwer‐Backofen, Gampe, & Vaupel, ). Osteon remodeling approaches, for example, based on the number of intact and fragmentary osteons and other parameters visible in thin sections of bone can be applied to fragmentary remains for which macroscopic features cannot be evaluated.…”
