This dataset contains newly published enamel 87Sr/86Sr, [Sr] (ppm), and δ18O values from 3 individuals, and dentine δ13C/δ15N/δ34S and 14C from 1 individual from the Croftgowan early medieval cemetery, Scotland. These data relate to the paper ‘Fragments of lives: new biomolecular insights into Croft...

This dataset presents 192 87Sr/86Sr measurements from modern plant samples collected from 91 sampling sites across northern Portugal (north of 39.1o). New 87Sr/86Sr measurements from triple plant samples (grass, shrub and tree) from 51 sampling sites are presented alongside modern plant 87Sr/86Sr fr...

This dataset presents 87Sr/86Sr, δ88Sr and [Sr] measurements from cremated diaphyseal fragments (n = 10) and otic capsules (n = 5) from ten cremated bone deposits at the Roman site of Tongobriga (Marco de Canaveses, Portugal). The cremated bone samples are from the High Empire necropolis, dated to t...

An initial collection of stable isotope data from various published articles of human and animal remains from the Southern Illinois region, chiefly from the Cahokia Mounds, Kincaid Mounds, and the Broglio Site completed under the direction of Dr. Chris Stantis as part of the ArchSci Lab of Southern ...

This is the dataset used for the journal article "Multi-proxy bioarchaeological analyses reveal subsistence shift in Bronze Age Central Europe" submitted by Depaermentier et al. (2026) to Science Advances. There is a total of 192 individuals from Poland dated from the Late Eneolithic to the Early Ir...

During the 14th century, inhabitants of Kutná Hora, an important urban centre in the Kingdom of Bohemia, were exposed to repeated mortality crises. This study uses stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes to examine the relationship between diet, the famine of 1318, and plague outbreaks after 1346. A tot...

This dataset contains 87Sr/86Sr and [Sr] (ppm) data for 55 Iron Age and Roman individuals from the site of Ursel-Rozestraat. These data relate to the paper 'Mobility patterns, dietary shifts and chronology: strontium and radiocarbon insights from calcined bones at Ursel-Rozestraat (prov. of East-Fla...

The dataset introduces a valuable perspective on strontium (87Sr/86Sr) for the study of the Late Roman and Migration Period (300-600 CE) in Germany, complementing existing research that has predominantly focused on carbon and nitrogen isotope systems. By incorporating strontium isotopes and elementa...

This dataset documents the isotopic variability of δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N values measured on human and faunal bone collagen from archaeological contexts associated with the sites of Aradetis Orgora and Doghlauri cemetery in the Shida Kartli region of Georgia. The assemblage includes faunal remains (n = 64) a...

This dataset consists of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios of bulk bone collagen obtained from humans and fauna of the Hamanaka 2 site, Hokkaido, Japan.

This dataset presents enamel strontium (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr), oxygen (δ¹⁸O), and carbon (δ¹³C) isotope data, together with bone and dentine collagen carbon (δ¹³C) and nitrogen (δ¹⁵N) isotope values, from Neolithic cattle, sheep/goat, and domesticated or wild pigs recovered from Swifterbant in the Netherlands....

This dataset accompanies the publication that applies a bioarchaeological framework to explore how mobility and ancestry shaped the social composition of the Roman military community Praetorium Agrippinae (Valkenburg, the Netherlands) along the Lower Rhine Limes. It comprises data from 77 individual...

The dataset presents 87Sr/86Sr, δ¹⁸O, and δ¹³C values measured on dental enamel from eight human individuals recovered from five archaeological sites in the Netherlands, comprising a total of 23 isotopic datapoints. The individuals derive from securely dated archaeological contexts spanning the peri...

This dataset includes 87Sr/86Sr measurements for 51 plant samples from 17 sampling sites in western Lithuania. Grass, shrub, and tree samples are presented from each sampling site to characterise bioavailable strontium. Overall, the 87Sr/86Sr for this dataset ranges between 0.7092 and 0.7177.

The dataset presents 87Sr/86Sr and [Sr] data for 25 human samples (cremations) recovered at the Ėgliškiai cemetery in western Lithuania. The site belongs to the Western Baltic Barrow culture and dates to the Late Bronze–Pre-Roman Iron Age (c. 800–50 BC).
