Abstract
This dataset presents stable strontium, oxygen, and carbon isotope compositions of 32 cremated remains from Přáslavice, an Urnfield period cemetery (1300 – 800 BC), located in the modern region of Moravia in the Czech Republic. In addition, strontium isotope measurements of a total of 210 modern plant samples collected from 70 localities across Moravia are also included. This dataset will enhance archaeological discussions on topics pertaining residential mobility amongst individuals buried at Přáslavice dated to the Urnfield period. Furthermore, the modern plant data will contribute to a growing database of bioavailable strontium isotope measurements in the region, which will have implications beyond the current study.
