Do archaeologists ever find baby teeth?

If you stop to consider just how many human beings have lived throughout history, and the fact that all of them had their baby teeth as children and shed these teeth as they grew, it stands to reason that there would be an awful lot of baby teeth scattered across the globe. Do archaeologists ever find random baby teeth? I suspect baby teeth don't weather the centuries well, since they often split or crumble after being shed and drying out, but surely some would remain. Does anyone know for certain?
