Human tooth

[Niko]

i found these today. The looks like a human moler. Any one know if when people lost teeth way back when if they would go out with the trash? Seems about right.

Sometimes people pulled there own teeth back then.or they had the
dentist come over and do it.We have found a lot of human teeth in
privy's.The privy was there trash can.

that is a really nice point, did it come from the river.Most translucent points do thats why I asked.

 

[Niko]

Yeah the point I found earlier that day. The tooth and the point came from sifting the sediment near a creek dump site. One of the better points I have found when sifting.

The tooth is pretty gross, but I love the Arrowhead! I wonder if the tooth is as old as the arrowhead. your post is a good reminder to sift!

 

[Penn Digger]

I concur/agree with Redginger on this one. You can keep the teeth and scary, eye-less doll heads.

Barbers were still pulling teeth in some areas up till WW1. I think folks still through teeth in the trash. Dentists have to have them incenerated. They are considered a bio-hazard now days.[sm=rolleyes.gif]
