3D Printed Teeth Reveal Berlin's Past
German and U.S. archeologists have been working together to discover who founded the two ancient German towns of Berlin and Cölln. As there was information throughout history pointing to Cologne as the point of origin, archaeologists knew they could use strontium isotope analysis to examine the teeth of the uncovered skeletons, as Cologne had a ‘unique geology.’ German archaeologists sent molars from twenty-two of the skeletons to Dr. Kristina Killgrove, at Virtebra, the Virtual Bones and Artifacts Lab at the University of West Florida. Dr. Killgrove 3D scanned, edited, and printed two of the teeth and is working on 3D printing the entire collection of teeth so they can continue to examine and analyze them to better answer more questions regarding the founders and citizens of the two ancient towns in question.

Below is an example of some of the 3D printed teeth:

Perhaps, but the picture doesn't show molars, or any sort of teeth - those are vertebrae.
