Such severe defects observed in the osteoarchaeological record are a fairly rare condition. They are in all likelihood the result of intra and extra alveolar traumas. In two cases the growing area was completely or partially divided, probably due to a traumatic incidence. The origin of the traumatic insults could be intra- or inter-species fights, search for food or other accidents. Human maltreatment could also not be excluded. A twisted canine was observed in one case. A description of an anomaly on one lower female pig canine is also included.
