This dataset presents carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios on bone collagen of 46 human, 127 mammal, 30 bird and nine fish samples from seven medieval sites in western Guadalajara (Spain) dating to between 10th and 15th centuries CE, together with comparative human and fish data from Iberia pub...

This data article describes a dataset of stable carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur isotope measurements (δ13C, δ15N, and δ34S) of modern humans in Hong Kong, along with comparative data from commonly consumed animals in the region. Hair samples were collected from 69 volunteers (47 females, 19 males, 3 un...

The dataset includes infrared, radiocarbon, carbon, oxygen, and strontium isotope data from 174 cremated human bones from two Belgian Late Bronze Age - Early Iron Age cemeteries, Herstal and Court-Saint-Etienne. Five different skeletal elements were sampled per individual whenever possible: crania, ...

This dataset comprises a total of 1927 materials and includes 2354 samples, along with 2229 organic isotope measures (δ¹³C, δ¹⁵N, δ³⁴S), 422 mineral isotope measures (δ¹³C, δ¹⁸O, ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr), and 38 radiocarbon measures. It compiles isotopic data from 49 sources, including journal articles, books, an...

Strontium isotope analysis ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) of Iron Age cremation burials in Britain. The analysis was conducted on 31 individuals from cremation burials at the Late Iron Age cemetery of Westhampnett, West Sussex, United Kingdom.

The islands of the southern Caribbean (islands off the Venezuelan coast), are isotopically understudied in the field of molecular anthropology, despite being a source of information regarding connections with the South American mainland. The aim of this dataset is to provide isotope concentrations f...

A total of 326 strontium isotope ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) analyses from 125 sampling sites from two sampling campaigns across Corsica are presented. The first sampling campaign collected paired plant and soil samples from 75 individual sites while the second sampling campaign collected grass, shrub and tree ...

With a total of 1 269 materials this dataset has 1 499 samples, 1 285 organic measures (δ13C & δ15N) and 781 mineral measures (δ13C, δ18O). It includes isotopic data compiled from 16 references inclusive of articles, books, and doctoral dissertations. The dataset brings together isotope analyses res...

This dataset encompasses stable isotope data from 3,191 samples, including hominins (Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis), animals, plants, and ceramics (organic residues), collected from 409 archaeological sites across regions formerly part of the Soviet Union, such as Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukrain...

The dataset includes infrared, carbon, and oxygen isotope data from 322 cremated bones across five Belgian Gallo-Roman cemeteries. Three different skeletal elements—cranium, diaphyses of upper/lower limb long bones, and ribs—were sampled from each selected individual. However, due to extensive fragm...

To investigate dietary changes during the Middle Ages, carbon and nitrogen isotopes were measured in bone collagen from 97 humans and 14 animals from the medieval ecclesiastical centre of Stará Boleslav, together with the comparative dataset of 28 humans from Prague-Loretánské Square. The Stará Bole...

Legaire Sur (uplands of Álava region), is a recently (2020-21) excavated passage tomb (megalithic monument) that held a minimum number of 25 individuals. This dataset contains the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and strontium isotope ratios of 18 individuals, from a multi-tissue sampling study (succession...

To describe changes in diet and/or husbandry practices over the course of the Bronze Age on the territory of present-day Czechia, carbon (δ 13 C) and nitrogen (δ 15 N) isotopic values were measured in bone or tooth collagen from 103 humans and 30 animals (including cattle, sheep/goat, domestic pig, ...

This dataset is comprised of 81 strontium isotopic measurements. It includes the results of the analyses performed on 21 human tooth enamel samples from 17 different individuals buried at Gumelnița, Romania. This site belongs to the Kodjadermen-Gumelnița-Karonovo VI (KGK VI) archaeological “culture”...

The dataset contains 1217 near-weekly δ18O values sampled sequentially from the innermost enamel along the enamel-dentine junction of one modern human molar, five wild chimpanzee molars, and eleven captive rhesus macaque molars. All teeth were measured with SIMS (SHRIMP-SI, Canberra, Australia) and...
