An approach to establishing a workflow pipeline for synergistic analysis of osteological and biochemical data. The case study of Amvrakia in the context of Corinthian colonisation between 625-189 BC in Epirus, Greece.

Description

Bioarchaeology has long focused on understanding past human life through skeletal remains, including oral pathology and stable isotope analysis. Despite advancements in statistical analysis, correlations are still largely made manually. To streamline this, we propose a tool to automatically identify correlations between dental pathologies and isotope values. Our work is part of the ongoing APOIKIA project on Corinthian colonisation in 7th century BC. We analyse osteoarchaeological material from the Western Necropolis of Amvrakia, Greece, founded around 640 BC. Our methodology integrates novel data collection approaches and FAIR principles for data longevity and accessibility, utilizing R Markdown documents and cloud webware.
