This preliminary study describes the dental crown morphology of 14 Javanese of known sex and age. The purpose was to suggest what dental traits to look for when studying a bigger sample from Java. Of 21 traits looked for, traits occurring in the sample were shovel shape, winging, tuberculum dentale, interruption groove, canine distal accessory ridge, premolar accessory ridges, premolar accessory marginal tubercles, premolar multiple lingual cusps, cusp 5, cusp 6, Y5 pattern, cusp 7, protostylid, deflecting wrinkle, anterior fovea, hypocone, and Carrabelli’s cusp. Dental wear overestimated actual ages because the observed rate of wear was less than in the reference sample. Dental Anthropology 2007;20:42-44. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Shovel shape was very common. This is expected given the Asian ancestry of the group. Even the canine showed a high incidence of shoveling (Table 1). Incisor winging occurred in 8 of 14 individuals (57%). Very high frequencies of winging are usually found in Sinodont dentitions. The people of Java are labeled Sundadont, and these data suggest that Sundadont groups may also have quite high frequencies. Expression of tuberculum dentale was weak to moderate; only one individual showed a pronounced canine tuberculum dentale. Most individuals lacked a tuberculum dentale on their incisors (Table 2). An interruption groove on the upper second incisors occurred in half the sample (7/14 cases). TABLE 1.
