Database E.7 Codebook (web ver. 1.1) of Individual Records of Hypoplasias and Carious Lesions in Permanent Dentitions in 
Children, Adolescents, and Adults


     All skeletons where examined at University of Hawaii at Manoa in 1993.

     Explanation of Abbreviations and Codes

     SPECID = Individual Burial Number
         First number is excavation locale
             1 = BC, 1974 excavation
             2 = BCES, 1975 excavation

         followed by two spaces and then the burial identification number.
            Example: 1 14 is BC Burial 14

     AGE
         CHILD = < 15 years
         ADOL = Adolescent (15-20 years)
         YG ADULT = Young Adult (20-35 years)
         MIDAGE = Middle-aged Adult (35-50 years)
         OLD = Old Adult (50+ years)
         ADULT = Adult (20-50+ years)

     SEX = Sex of individual, ?female coded as FEMALE, ?male coded as MALE

     SITE = Site of excavation (BANCHIAN = Ban Chiang)

     These data follow the dental arcade beginning with the upper left third molar to the upper right third molar followed by the lower left 
     third molar to the lower right third molar. There are 32 observations for each of the variables.

     For each field name, following the variable code (HYPO and CARI) is the designation for each tooth according to the following code.

     The first letter is the jaw location U = upper, L = lower;
     The second letter is the side R = right, L = left;
     The last letters are the tooth (i.e., M3 = third molar).

     HYPO = Hypoplasia
         0 = absent
         1 = linear horizontal defect
         2 = linear vertical groove
         3 = linear horizontal pitting
         4 = nonlinear pitting
         5 = single pit
         6 = color change

     CARI = Caries
         0 = absent
        1A = occlusal fissure
        1B = occlusal cusp
        1C = occlusal gross
        2A = interproximal mesial crown
         2B = interproximal distal crown
         3A = buccal crown
         3B = lingual crown
         4A = cemento-enamel junction mesial
         4B = cemento-enamel junction distal
         4C = cemento-enamel junction buccal
         4D = cemento-enamel junction lingual
         5 = huge caries
