Neodymium isotopes in modern human dental enamel: An exploratory dataset for human provenancing.

ABSTRACT: This collection presents data on neodymium isotopes from modern dental elements (third molars) of 47 individuals born and raised in the Netherlands, Grenada, Curaçao, Bonaire, Columbia and Iceland. Neodymium isotope composition was successfully analyzed for 40 individuals (ranging between 0.511820 and 0.512773 ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd and -16.0 to 2.6 εNd), with neodymium concentration data available for 23 individuals (ranging between 0.1 and 21.0 ppb). For 37 individuals the dental elements have also been analyzed for strontium isotopes. All analyses were performed on a Thermo Scientific Triton Plus TIMS. Neodymium analyses were performed using 10¹³ Ω resistors, with samples reanalyzed using 10¹¹ Ω resistors if enough sample was available. Strontium analyse
