When big data initiatives meet: Data sharing between THANADOS and IsoArcH for early medieval cemeteries in Austria.

ABSTRACT: This paper reports carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur stable isotope data obtained from bone collagen of humans from the early medieval cemeteries of Hemmaberg/Gora svete Heme and Oberleiserberg located in Austria. The Hemmaberg/Gora svete Heme cemetery, dating from the 8^th to the 11^th century, comprises 29 graves, from which 15 individuals were analyzed. The Oberleiserberg cemetery, established in the first half of the 11^th century, includes 71 graves as well as several incidental finds of human bones, from which 75 samples were analyzed. Both cemeteries show comparable δ¹³C data (mean for Oberleiserberg: -17.5 ± 1.2 ‰, 1σ; mean for Hemmaberg: -16.4 ± 1.6‰, 1σ). However, the δ¹⁵N values of individuals from Oberleiserberg (mean: +10.4 ± 1.5‰
