Abstract
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 Croftgowan barrow cemetery’ in the Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland [in press].
