Database NNT06 Codebook (web ver. 1.0) of Individual Records of Non-metric Observations and Pathology in Deciduous Dentition


     Explanation of Abbreviations and Codes

     SPECID = Individual Burial Number
         First number is excavation locale
             NNT1 = 1966 excavation
             NNT2 = 1968 excavation

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

     AGEYR = Age of individual in years

     AGEMO = Age of individual in months coded as follows:
         1 = 0-3 months
         2 = 3-6 months
         3 = 6-9 months
         4 = 9-12 months
         5 = 12-18 months
         6 = 18-24 months
         7 = 9-18 months

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

     SITE = Site of excavation

     YEAREXAM = Year burial was examined

     INSTCODE = Institution where burial was examined
         SIR = Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand
         UNL = University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA

     These data follow the deciduous dental arcade beginning with the upper left second molar to the upper right second molar followed by the lower left second molar to the lower right second molar.

     Fields 7-26 record the tooth presence:

     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 (e.g., M2 = second molar).

     Scoring for fields 7-26 is:
         1 = present
         2 = postmortem loss
         3 = premortem loss
         4 = roots
         5 = evulsed
         6 = agenesis
         7 = unerupted
         8 = erupting
         9 = impacted

  
   Non-metric observations in deciduous dentitions in children begin in field 27. Except for shovel-shaping, the tooth code follows the non-metric code in the field name.

     ULI2SS-LRI2SS = Shovel-shaped incisors
         0 = absent
         1 = slight
         2 = moderate
         3 = marked

     PEG = Peg-shaped tooth
         0 = absent
         1 = present

     EE = Enamel extensions of the molars
         0 = absent
         1 = present

     PROT = Protostylid cusp scored on the lower molars
         0 = absent
         1 = present

     CAR = Carabelli's cusp scored on the upper molars
         0 = absent
         1 = present

     CAL = Calculus
         0 = absent
         1 = slight
         2 = moderate
         3 = marked

     HYPO = Hypoplasia
         0 = absent
         1 = present

     CARI = Caries
         0 = absent
         1 = present

     ABC = Abscessing
         0 = absent
         1 = present

     ATT = Attrition
         0 = none
         1 = enamel wear
         2 = dentin exposed
         3 = pulp exposure
         4 = worn to the roots
