Zooarchaeological, isotopic, ZooMS, and Radiocarbon data from the Classical through the Hellenistic Periods in Thessaly (Central Greece)

These datasets contain zooarchaeological, isotopic, ZooMS, and radiocarbon data from animal remains excavated at three archaeological sites in Central Greece dating from the Classical through the Hellenistic Periods.
<br><br>
Zooarchaeological data were collected by Dimitris Filioglou and Wietske Prummel, isotopic data by Antonio Delgado Huertas, William P. Patterson, Sandra Timsic and Leopoldo D. Pena, ZooMS data by Samantha Presslee, and radiocarbon data by Sanne Palstra, as part of Filioglou’s PhD project.
