EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! That gives me the willies just THINKING about that!!!!!! (Thanks for posting the article)
I wonder if it could have been a torture technique?
Would you file them under "T" for "teeth"?

“Archaeologists think it may have been designed to frighten opponents or show status as a great fighter....”
How’d that work? Gimpy teeth are scary? Or, “I’m such a mighty mighty warrior, I ****ed up my teeth!”
My own archaeologist guess? (as a thoroughly non archaeologist, that is)...
This guy was the runt of the litter. The bigger guys held him down and filed his teeth so they could listen to him scream in pain every time he ate or drank something hot or cold.
Or...
This guy fell asleep during an after battle drinking party.
