Abstract
Highlights
•
A new quantitative microscopic method for the identification of LEH is proposed.
•
The method relies on enamel surface depth profiles to objectively identify defects.
•
It is suitable when there is an absence of visible/continuous perikymata.
•
Results compare favorably with existing microscopic and macroscopic methods.
•
The method is designed to deal with worn archaeological dental assemblages.
