During the analysis of a skeletal assemblage from a medieval cemetery in Nubia (c. AD 500-1550), a young adult female with abnormally developed maxillary incisors was discovered. The possible causes of the two dental anomalies found in this individual and their archaeological context are discussed. The remains are from a medieval assemblage from the Fourth Cataract region of Nubia, which forms part of the Nubian collection curated at the British Museum. The left central incisor has a twinned crown with two root canals, and a supernumerary tooth is present on the right side between the central incisor and lateral incisors. Although two different dental anomalies are present, the bilateral expression suggests that the same biological mechanism could be responsible.
在对努比亚一座中世纪墓地（约公元500 - 1550年）出土的骨骼组合进行分析时，发现了一名上颌切牙发育异常的年轻成年女性。本文讨论了在该个体中发现的两种牙齿异常的可能原因及其考古背景。这些遗骸来自努比亚第四瀑布地区的一个中世纪遗址，是大英博物馆收藏的努比亚文物的一部分。左中切牙有一个双冠且有两个根管，右侧中切牙和侧切牙之间有一颗多生牙。虽然存在两种不同的牙齿异常，但双侧表现表明可能是由相同的生物学机制导致的。
