The Miles system of ageing, based upon analysis of the rate of molar wear, was evaluated using the available dental sample from Tepe Hissar, Iran. The independently estimated ages for the mandibles and maxillae of the same individuals were found to be highly correlated (r = 0.87, p less than 0.001). Ages of a subsample of the dentitions were compared with skeletal ages for the same individuals estimated from pubic symphyseal faces and found to be significantly correlated (r = 0.82, p less than 0.005) with no significant differences in the mean ages. Although a complete evaluation of the Miles method would require its testing on a controlled population, the available dental sample from Tepe Hissar provided evidence of the reliability and validity of the Miles method of ageing archeological populations on the basis of dental wear. Due to selective retention of burial remains, the available skeletal sample from Tepe Hissar I-III is not representative of the human populations of the site and can not be used to generate meaningful demographic statistics.
基于对臼齿磨损率分析的迈尔斯衰老系统，利用来自伊朗特佩希萨尔的现有牙齿样本进行了评估。同一人的下颌骨和上颌骨的独立估计年龄高度相关（r = 0.87，p小于0.001）。将牙列子样本的年龄与根据耻骨联合面估计的同一人的骨骼年龄进行比较，发现两者显著相关（r = 0.82，p小于0.005），平均年龄无显著差异。虽然对迈尔斯方法进行全面评估需要在受控人群中进行测试，但来自特佩希萨尔的现有牙齿样本为基于牙齿磨损的迈尔斯考古人群衰老方法的可靠性和有效性提供了证据。由于墓葬遗骸的选择性留存，来自特佩希萨尔I - III的现有骨骼样本不代表该遗址的人群，不能用于生成有意义的人口统计数据。
