TABLE 3. Frequency of scratch marks and pits on a representative sample of teeth used in this study. DIP represents dentine incidence of pitting. EIP represents Enamel incidence of pitting. DIP and EIP expressed as percentages. Note the consistent pattern of higher incidence of pitting on the dentine surfaces. The open entries in the table reflect the dental surface was not preserved well enough to reliably discern features. Vector length refers to the length of the mean scratch vector and is a measure of the concentration of the orientations of the long axis of each scratch. More random distributions approach 0 and more preferred distributions approach 1 (see
Ungar 1994,
2002).
