Archaeological significance[edit]

Dental calculus has been shown to contain well preserved DNA and protein in archaeological samples.^[1] The information these molecules contain can reveal information about the oral microbiome of the host and the presence of pathogens.^[2] It is also possible to identify dietary sources^[3] as well as study dietary shifts.^[4]
