Complete catalogue of anthropological and isotopic data of the early medieval cemetery of Luistari (Finland) plus bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr values in the environment

Table Sheet 1: Complete catalogue of the Luistari cemetery graves available for sampling. Informations on sex (determined according to grave goods and anthropology if possible), osteology/pathology observations, age-at-death and data on δ13Ccarb, δ13Ccoll, δ15Ncoll, δ34Scoll are from the publication of Etu-Sihvola et al., 2022. Notes on the grave goods and the chronology are based on the publications of Lehtosalo-Hilander, 1982a-c, 2000.

Table Sheet 2: Modern water, plant and fish samples, and archaeological bone samples used to survey the bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr in the environment. Coordinates in decimal degrees refer to the WGS-84 system. At sites 2 and 14, the Sr isotope value of the water sample from lake Pyhäjärvi was not averaged with the onshore plant sample values, as they represent different bedrock types. Concentrations of Rb and Sr were not determined for the plant samples. The last five columns list the share of land cover/use type (in % from the total surface area of the catchment area) according to the level 1 classifications in CORINE Land Cover 2012 dataset by the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE/CORIINE LandCover 2012). 

Table Sheet 3: Offset of the Δ87Sr/86Sr values between different sampled tissues, in this case molars and premolars. The teeth are listed in increasing order of crown mineralisation age from top to down. The Δ87Sr/86Sr was calculated as a difference between the later tooth and the earlier tooth. In case of the presence of the two same molars in the sampling, only one molar was selected; in the case when M2 and PM were present in the sampling, only M2 was selected.
