IsoArcH

IsoArcH is an open access isotope web-database for bioarchaeological samples from prehistoric and historical periods all over the world. With 40,000+ isotope related data obtained on 13,000+ specimens (i.e., humans, animals, plants and organic residues) coming from 500+ archaeological sites, IsoArcH is now one of the world's largest repositories for isotopic data and metadata deriving from archaeological contexts. IsoArcH allows to initiate big data initiatives but also highlights research lacks in certain regions or time periods. Among others, it supports the creation of sound baselines, the undertaking of multi-scale analysis, and the realization of extensive studies and syntheses on various research issues such as paleodiet, food production, resource management, migrations, paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental changes.

IsoArcH 是一个开放获取的同位素网络数据库，收录了来自全球史前时期和历史上的生物考古样本。该数据库中包含了40,000多条与同位素相关的数据，这些数据是基于13,000多个样本（包括人类、动物、植物和有机残留物）所得，这些样本来源于500多个考古遗址。目前，IsoArcH 已成为世界上最大的同位素数据和相关元数据存储库之一，这些数据源自考古背景。IsoArcH不仅能够启动大数据项目，还突显了某些地区或时期的科研不足。除此之外，它还支持构建可靠的基线、开展多尺度分析，并就诸如古饮食、食物生产、资源管理、迁徙、古气候以及古环境变化等众多研究议题进行广泛的研究和综合分析。
