Data of available stable isotope measurements of archaeological interest (?13C, ?15N, ?34S, ?18O, and 87Sr/86Sr) reported for humans, and animals from several archaeological sites of the Central Coast of Peru. The dataset includes the results of a pilot study of compound-single isotope amino acids analysis (CSIA) in a subset of 19 individuals (15 humans and 4 animals) from the same region. These data were produced by the PACHAMAMA Project (MSCA – Horizon 2020) and are part of several publications and submitted reports.
METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION
- Description of methods used for collection-generation of data:
The PACHAMAMA Project – Stable Isotopes Dataset is a compilation of all the available stable isotope measurements of archaeological interest (?13C, ?15N, ?34S, ?18O, and 87Sr/86Sr) from human individuals and fauna of 11 archeological sites located at the Central Coast of Peru, spanning several periods of Central Andes chronology (3000 BCE – 1300 CE).
The dataset includes isotopic values produced by the PACHAMAMA Project (2022-2024) in ICTA-UAB and partner laboratories, and other data from the same sites produced by previous projects. The CSIA dataset consists of ?13C values of single amino acids of 19 individuals (15 humans and 4 animals) from the Peruvian Central Coast. These data were produced by Liquid Chromatography coupled to Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry with the protocol implemented by the Prof. Joan Villanueva at ICTA-UAB.
