Abstract
► Quantified bioimages of Pb in modern and ancient deciduous teeth were obtained. ► Li, Zn, and Pb distributions are heterogeneous in dental tissues (pulp≫dentine>enamel). ► Pb in Chilean mummies is an order of magnitude lower than contemporary teeth. ► Elevated Li in some Andean mummy tribes' teeth shows potential natural Li exposure. ► Zn accumulation in the crown indicates elevated prenatal exposure.
