Abstract
Grotte de la Faucille is one of many collective cave burials in the Belgian Meuse Basin. This study is an inventory and dental analysis of the ± 300 human teeth recovered from the cave. The aim is to gain further insights into oral health, childhood stress, subsistence, and diet in Neolithic Belgium. Grotte de la Faucille is one of a few recently excavated sites and is unique in the detailed study of its chronology. This study found high caries and enamel defect rates compared to other studies of Neolithic teeth from Belgium. However, rates correspond with those from other Neolithic societies in Europe. This study provides valuable new insights into the Neolithic people of Belgium from a dental anthropological perspective and may function as a reference for future intrapopulation studies.
