Stable and radiogenic isotope data from Brazilian bioarchaeological samples: a synthesis
Borges, Caroline; Chanca, Ingrid; Salesse, Kévin
Three decades have passed since the first publication, in 1991, of stable isotope analysis in a Brazilian archaeological context. These data were used in a palaeodietary study and it is presented in the book entitled “Moundbuilders of the Amazon: Geophysical Archaeology on Marajo Island, Brazil” by ...

Dataset of Oxygen (δ18Ocarbonate), Carbon (δ13Ccarbonate), and Strontium (87Sr/86Sr) values from the Imperial Roman site of Velia (ca. 1st to 2nd c. CE) in southern Italy
Stark, R. J.; Emery, M. V.; Schwarcz, H.; Sperduti, A.; Bondioli, L.; Craig, O. E.; Prowse, T. L.
The oxygen (d18Ocarbonate), carbon (d13Ccarbonate), and strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isotope data presented herein from the Imperial Roman site of Velia (ca. 1st to 2nd c. CE) were obtained from the dental enamel of human permanent second molars (M2). In total, the permanent M2s of 20 individuals (10 male ...

Collagen Stable Isotope Data from East and Northeast Asia, c. 7000 BC – 1000 AD
Cheung, Christina
Stable isotope analysis is routinely used in archaeology to answer questions related to past diets. As the technique matures, data from archaeological sites have been generated at an exponential rate over the past several decades, thus provided an invaluable opportunity to examine past dietary pract...

Stable isotope data (δ¹³C, δ¹⁵N) from Lombard burials at Kyjov (5th–6th centuries AD, Moravia, Czech Republic)
Plecerová, Adéla
This dataset contains stable carbon (δ¹³C) and nitrogen (δ¹⁵N) isotope values obtained from bone collagen of 73 human and 19 faunal samples excavated from the Lombard (Langobard) cemetery at Kyjov, Moravia (Czech Republic), dated to the 5th–6th centuries AD. These data were generated to investigate ...
