title: Expression count: a method for calculating morphological dental trait frequencies by using adjustable weighting coefficients with standard ranked scales.
abstract: Expression count is the term used for a new method of calculating the frequency of a morphological dental trait in a population sample. This method incorporates into a single value the total trait variation expressed in the sample. It has been designed to increase the information content of small samples of dental remains common with archeological recovery.
