IDABRC

The Isotope Dataset for Archaeological Biological Remains in China (IDABRC) is the most comprehensive dataset to date for bioarchaeological Chinese samples. It compiles nearly 20,700 isotope measurements (1984–2026) spanning the Palaeolithic to historical periods across major cultural regions. The dataset integrates multi-isotope data (δ13C, δ15N, δ18O, δ34S, and 87Sr/86Sr) from human and animal tissues (e.g., bone, dentine, enamel, hair) and plant remains, alongside archaeological, chronological, and geographic data.
