Dataset of Strontium Isotopic Values of Tooth Enamel of the Eneolithic Individuals Buried at Gumelnița (Romania) together with a Bioavailable Strontium Baseline of the Surroundings (Romania, Bulgaria)

This dataset is comprised of 81 strontium isotopic measurements. It includes the results of the analyses performed on 21 human tooth enamel samples from 17 different individuals buried at Gumelnița, Romania. This site belongs to the Kodjadermen-Gumelnița-Karonovo VI (KGK VI) archaeological “culture”, which existed during the second half of the fifth millennium BC in the northern Balkans. In addition, 87Sr/86Sr values of 60 plant samples from 20 different locations (15 in Romania and 5 in Bulgaria; 3 different samples were collected at each location) are included in this set to create a bioavailable strontium (BASr) baseline of the region. Our dataset represents one of the first studies to accurately investigate individual mobility during this crucial period of Eastern European Prehistory, as well as the first attempt to create a BASr baseline in the Lower Danube River Valley.

本数据集包含81份锶同位素检测数据，其中涵盖对罗马尼亚古梅勒尼察（Gumelnița）遗址出土的17位不同个体的21枚人类牙釉质样本开展分析所得的结果。该遗址属于科贾杰尔曼-古梅勒尼察-卡罗诺沃VI型（Kodjadermen-Gumelnița-Karonovo VI，简称KGK VI）考古"文化"，这一文化存在于公元前5世纪下半叶的巴尔干北部地区。此外，本数据集还纳入了来自20个不同采样点（罗马尼亚15个、保加利亚5个；每个采样点采集3份植物样本）的60份植物样本的87Sr/86Sr比值数据，以构建该区域的生物可利用锶（bioavailable strontium, BASr）基线。本数据集是首批精准探究东欧史前这一关键时期人类个体流动性的研究之一，同时也是多瑙河下游河谷地区首次尝试构建生物可利用锶基线的相关研究。
