Dataset for "Livelihood and dietary transitions in subsistence populations of northern Laos: Insights from carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis"

This dataset contains stable isotope data and analysis code supporting the article “Livelihood and dietary transitions in subsistence populations of northern Laos: Insights from carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis” by Li et al., accepted for publication in the American Journal of Biological Anthropology (DOI: 10.1002/ajpa.70326). The dataset includes carbon and nitrogen stable isotope measurements, elemental composition data, C/N ratios, and contextual information for the analyzed food and scalp hair samples collected in northern Laos. The accompanying R code was used to process the data and generate the analyses, tables, and figures reported in the related article, with the exception of Table S1, Figure 1, and Figure S1. These materials support the investigation of dietary shifts associated with livelihood transition in two rural populations in northern Laos. Files included in this record: ajpa70326-TableS1S2.xlsx: isotope dataset ajpa70326-RCode.zip: R scripts used for data processing, analysis, generation of tables and figures README.md: description of files and variables The files will be made publicly available upon publication of the associated article.
