Pandora & IsoMemo

📢⚠️Thrilled to announce a new #isotopic database! The NEENA #database compiles over 18,700 stable isotopic measurements from #bioarchaeological samples found in 750 sites between North-Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. Read more at: rdcu.be/e2kNw. @ScientificData

📢New paper in @PNASNexus 🚨 Bayesian modelled #Roman high-resolution #isotopic data suggests links between infant feeding practices and settlement complexity. Check this out at: doi.org/10.1093/pnasne… @MPI_GEA @IsomemoPandora @mareacentre @pompeii_sites @parcostiantica

📢 Publication Alert📢 We are proud to start the year by announcing the publication of NARIA, an open-access compilation of isotopic measurements (n=28,374) from bioarchaeological samples in North America! doi.org/10.1038/s41597… @ScientificData, by @tnbillings et al. @MPI_GEA

Due to some technical problems, our talk in session #557 at the #EAA2024 has been moved to tomorrow morning at 9,45. Join the second part of the session if you wish to know more about our initiative! @SilviaSoncin1

📢 Another partner #database out in @ScientificData! IsoMad (doi.org/10.1038/s41597…) is an open-access, island-wide #isotopic database for modern biologically relevant materials collected on #Madagascar within the past 150 years. Available on Pandora at: doi.org/10.48493/wvsn-…

⚠️📢 A new #zooarchaeological dataset from sites in the #Netherlands dating from the #BronzeAge to the #EarlyMedieval period has been published in Data in Brief. The dataset is available on Pandora at: doi.org/10.48493/gdsr-…. Learn more at: doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.…

🚨🏺💀🧪🚨 Happy to share Isotòpia, an #isotopic #database collecting over 36,000 measurements from bioarchaeological remains dating to #Classical #Antiquity. In @PLOSONE, we also highlighted major isotopic research gaps for the period. doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Happy to announce a new article (doi.org/10.1016/j.quai…) in Quaternary International that uses the Pandora & IsoMemo app Bpred (github.com/Pandora-IsoMem…) to estimate bone preservation.

I had some fantastic time at the Cyprus Institute in Nicosia for #icasemme4. Amazing people, great food, nice weather, and lots of cool archaeological science applications. I contributed with some Big #Isotopic Data.

🆕📢New paper alert! "Synecdemus Novus: Presenting the #Dataset of Human Activities on #Crete (201–1204 C.E.)" by @JaklovaVera and colleagues: tinyurl.com/bb38nzja #OpenScience #Archaeology #OpenAccess #OpenData

Just published our latest #openaccess article with @up_joad: doi.org/10.5334/joad.1… The dataset of Roman and Early Byzantine settlements on Crete is accessible on Pandora pandoradata.earth/dataset/synecd…

Happy to announce the publication in @up_joad of Synecdemus Novus, a dataset of human activities in Crete between the 3rd c. CE and 1204 CE. The dataset is available at: doi.org/10.48493/b8mn-…. Learn more at: doi.org/10.5334/joad.1… @JaklovaVera

It was amazing to be in York again for @ukas2024 after nearly 6 years since my MSc. I met so many old friends and also made some new ones. I wish to thank the organisers for giving me the opportunity to present @IsomemoPandora and its impactful research potential.

Happy to announce a new @ScientificData publication from the IsoMemo partner South American Archaeological Isotopic Database (SAAID). SAAID compiled more than 53,000 #bioarchaeological stable and radiogenic #isotope measurements across South America. doi.org/10.1038/s41597…

A new historical database for the Cretan horse is part of an effort to prevent its extinction. The first part of a study presenting its results has now been published in the journal CHEIRON. Paper at: trivent-publishing.eu/img/cms/7-%20C… See more at: trivent-publishing.eu/home/176-cheir… @JaklovaVera

Thrilled to announce NCAID: an isotopic database for North Central Asia spanning from the Early Neolithic to modern days. NCAID is partner of the IsoMemo network and available on Pandora data platform at: doi.org/10.48493/0g6y-… doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.…

Are you an #isotope enthusiast? Are you applying or are interested in new stable isotope approaches in #archaeology? Join our session at #EAA2024! submissions.e-a-a.org/eaa2024/sessio… you have time until 8th February to submit your abstract. Looking forward to seeing you in Rome!

My first paper has just been published in Open Access on @ScientificData We share a database of isotopic data from Late Prehistory in the #Mediterranean basin, with more than 48,000 measurements! doi.org/10.1038/s41597… @SapienzaRoma @mareacentre

Another #isotopic #database just joined our IsoMemo network! MAIA includes over 48,000 isotopic measurements for #prehistoric human, animal and plant samples from #Mediterranean sites. Check this out at: doi.org/10.1038/s41597…! @ScientificData @martina_farese @SilviaSoncin1

And the workshop is over! A big thanks to Ricardo Fernandes and Adam Izdebski for organising this and to @MPI_GEA for hosting the event! Also a huge thanks to all speakers and attendees that took us into engaging discussions on history and policy making.
