Data of potential biomarkers for southern African hunter-gatherer arrow poisons applied to ethno-historical and archaeological samples

The data was used when searching for potential biomarkers for southern African hunter-gatherer arrow poisons applied to ethno-historical and archaeological samples using Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR FTIR) and Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS). All data is presented in a single xlsx-file. The INFO-worksheet contains provenance information of the samples and detailed methods descriptions of the ATR-FTIR and GCMS analyses. The ATR FTIR-data consists of un-normalized absorbance registered at given wavenumbers for each of the samples. The GCMS-data consists of identified components, their retention time and their percent of the total peak area of the total ion-chromatogram of each sample. Unidentified components are marked with a sole “?”.

本数据集用于发掘南部非洲狩猎采集者箭毒的潜在生物标志物，研究采用衰减全反射傅里叶变换红外光谱（Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, ATR FTIR）与气相色谱-质谱联用（Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry, GCMS）技术，对民族史与考古学来源的样本展开分析。所有数据均整合于单个XLSX文件内。其中INFO工作表收录了所有样本的来源背景信息，以及ATR FTIR与GCMS分析的详细方法说明。ATR FTIR数据集包含各样本在指定波数下记录的未归一化吸光度数值。GCMS数据集包含各样本中已鉴定的组分、各组分的保留时间，以及其在对应总离子色谱图总峰面积中的占比百分比。未鉴定的组分以单独的"?"标记。
