Abstract :
Niksar skeletons dated to Post Medieval excavated from the underground building in Tokat (Niksar) in 2008. The rates of dental attrition, dental caries, hypoplasia, dental calculus, abscess, alveolar bone loss and antemortem tooth loss were calculated as 98,95%, 48,95%, 47,37%, 49,47%, 7,85%, 48,86% and 14,91% respectively. When the Niksar skeletal remains were compared with the other ancient Anatolian populations, it was observed that the rates of dental caries, dental calculus and abscess were higher than those of them. Acording to the results, the inhabitans of Niksar population could be told as an agricultural life style.
