Restoration and repair: The tip-end and rest of tooth were found separately at the same dig site, during same year. However, since they were not found right beside each other and at the same time, it is possible that the two pieces came from different, similarly sized-teeth; in fact, it's safest to assume this is a composite. There is a band of restoration in the middle of the tooth (the purple areas in the last two images shows the extent of the restoration). Overall it is in excellent condition and the restoration was carried out to the highest standard.
