Sylvia,
There is a paper by Dobney and Brothwell:
Dobney, K. & Brothwell, D. (1986) Dental Calculus: Its Relevance to
Ancient Diet and Oral Ecology. In Cruwys, E. & Foley, R. (eds.). Teeth
and Anthropology. BAR International Series 291. Oxford: British
Archaeological Reports, 55-81.
I have a PDF of the paper.
