This preliminary study describes the dentalcrown morphology of 14 Javanese of known sex andage. The purpose was to suggest what dental traits tolook for when studying a bigger sample from Java. Of21 traits looked for, traits occurring in the sample wereshovel shape, winging, tuberculum dentale, interruptiongroove, canine distal accessory ridge, premolar accessoryridges, premolar accessory marginal tubercles, premolarmultiple lingual cusps, cusp 5, cusp 6, Y5 pattern, cusp 7,protostylid, deflecting wrinkle, anterior fovea, hypocone,and Carrabelli’s cusp. Dental wear overestimated actualages because the observed rate of wear was less than inthe reference sample.
