14SEA is a new online database targeting the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods in Central and Western Anatolia, the Aegean, the Balkans and adjacent areas. The currently 2681 entries provide a chronological framework not only for the dispersal of farming from Anatolia into Europe but also for the major transformations occurring during the Chalcolithic in these areas.

Amalthea: Amalthea is a global database of stable isotope measurements on tooth increments from archaeological and modern individuals spanning more than 7,000 years. The dataset includes c. 15,000 isotopic measurements from more than 700 individuals. In addition to isotopic data the database also includes information on the archaeological context and osteological features of recorded individuals. This database allows for the reconstruction of individual iso-biographies. In particular, the database allows for meta-studies on childhood diet, nutrition, and health across time and space. The database is a collaborative effort and will be regularly updated.
The AustArch dataset consists of 5,044 radiocarbon determinations from 1,748 archaeological sites across Australia. The dataset also contains a further 478 non-radiocarbon ages. The dataset includes all radiocarbon and non-radiocarbon ages associated with archaeological deposits published in the last 60 years of research. AustArch is also part of CARD.

CARD is a global database of +50,000 14C dates from archaeological, geological, and paleoenvironmental contexts. CARD was developed in 1990 and expanded to V2.1 in 2015 with additional features such as a spatial interface, a security wall, unlimited up/downloading and on screen data editing.

CIMA: The Compendium Isotoporum Medii Aevi (CIMA) gathers more than 50,000 isotopic measurements for bioarchaeological samples located within Europe and its margins dating between 500–1500 CE. In addition to isotopic data the database also includes information on the archaeological context and osteological features of recorded individuals. This volume of isotopic data, together with collected supporting information, offers multiple research opportunities (e.g. to reconstruct medieval human lifeways, animal management practices, and paleo-environmental conditions.
Project D4 of the CRC 806 focuses on the question, as to whether the presence, or resp., the absence of humans can be interpreted as a response to natural or cultural environment by integrating data, methods and results from various former CRC-projects and from literature. This integrative approach is based on the analysis of chronological, spatial, geoarchaeological, archaeobiological and cultural data. One of the main questions concerns the reconstruction of diet and mobility of humans and animals. Based on the hypothesis that an increase in the consumption of meat correlates with lower population densities and perhaps higher mobility, we are interested in isotopic measurements of human and animal bones. The collected data will also allow for the reconstruction of foodwebs of various archaeological periods. This also includes the creation of a database of isotopic data.
Edaphobase is a taxonomic-ecological database system, which combines existing taxonomical primary data on soil organisms from collections, scientific literature and reports etc. originating from many research institutes and persons involved in soil zoology. This data is linked at the species level to ecological background information of the species’ sites of occurrence (i. e., geography, soils, habitat type, climate etc., including also data on stable isotopes in soil and fauna). The data is available to the general public via a web application containing a comprehensive query system, which allows the analysis and evaluation of the data for complex ecological questions of soil-zoological research and monitoring.
The Early Pottery Research database (EPRG database) is hosted by the early pottery research group and contains carbon stable isotope data and molecular information derived from organic residue analysis of ceramics. The database is concerned with pottery from early agricultural and hunter-gatherer sites globally.
GeoReM is a Max Planck Institute database for reference materials of geological and environmental interest, such as rock powders, synthetic and natural glasses as well as mineral, isotopic, biological, river water and seawater reference materials. GeoReM contains published analytical data and compilation values (major and trace element concentrations and mass fractions, radiogenic and stable isotope ratios). GeoReM contains all important metadata about the analytical values such as uncertainty, analytical method and laboratory. Sample information and references are also included. GeoReM contains more than 3,540 reference materials, nearly 50,000 analyses from more than 10,550 papers, and preferred analytical values (state: January, 2019).

INTIMATE is an open palaeoclimate research community studying the integration of marine, terrestrial and ice core records. Its activities cover a wide range of topics and formats.The INTIMATE-WP4 database is designed for the age-modelling and chronological correlation of palaeoenvironmental sequences.
The database contains thousands of radiocarbon and and stable isotope results, and new data is introduced at regular intervals, with an embargo of at least 2 yrs maintained between the delivery of the report to the submitterand the introduction of the results in the database. Data obtained from the IRPA/KIK database should be cited as: Van Strydonck M, De Roock E, 2011, Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage Web-Based Radiocarbon Database, Radiocarbon Vol 53, No 2, 367-370.

LWCD: Leaf wax (C and H) and cellulose (O) Database is develloped by an active research group that focuses on employing compound-specific and position-specific H/C/O isotope signals at natural abundance level to understand plant metabolism and physiology. This research is leading to the development of an isotope database for leaf lipids, amino acids and -cellulose and soluble sugars. Currently the database is composed of carbon and hidrogen isotope data for lipids synthesized via three independent biosynthetic pathways for over 100 species of tropical grasses and 6 species of controlled grown plants and oxygen isotope data from cellulose for more than 200 species across temperate, subtropical and tropic zones.

Neotoma covers the Pliocene-Quaternary part of the geologic record, the time during which humans evolved and during which modern ecosystems developed. Neotoma’s centralized structure facilitates interdisciplinary, multiproxy analyses and common tool development; discipline-specific data can also be easily accessed. Data currently include North American Pollen (NAPD) and fossil mammals (FAUNMAP) as well as other proxies (plant macrofossils, beetles, ostracodes, diatoms, etc.) and geographic areas (Europe, Latin America, etc.). Data are derived from sites from the last 5 million years. The Faunal Isotope Database was recently added to Neotoma and contains specimen-level isotopic data from a variety of vertebrate and invertebrate remains.
Any use of data from Neotoma should cite the original publications whenever possible and also acknowledge the Neotoma database. Example: “Data were obtained from the Neotoma Paleoecology Database (http://www.neotomadb.org), and the work of the data contributors and the Neotoma community is gratefully acknowledged.” Normal ethics and standards of co-authorship apply. See Neotoma’s data-use policy for further details. (hyperlink for data use policy: https://www.neotomadb.org/data/category/use

We are an active research Group that focuses on the application of stable isotope methods to questions of past hominin (including human) and faunal diet, ecology, and environment. These practical applications alongside data mining from the existing literature are leading to the development and publication of databases collating modern and fossil primate stable isotope measurements from around the world (PRIMDAT) and pre-Holocene hominin and human stable isotope measurements, primarily from Africa and the tropics (HOMDAT).
