Incremental enamel and dentine isotopic data of faunal remains from the United Kingdom.

ABSTRACT: This paper collates previously published data from incremental isotopic studies performed on faunal remains found within the modern boundaries of the United Kingdom (UK). The dataset represents a complete collection of zooarchaeological incremental data from the UK, consisting of 1,092 data points, obtained from 152 faunal specimens from 20 archaeological sites, dating from 7960 BC to AD 1300. 59 of these values are from incrementally sampled dentine and present stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios (δ ¹³C and δ ¹⁵N). The remaining 1,053 values are from incrementally sampled enamel, and present strontium (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, n= 193), and/or stable carbon and oxygen isotope ratios (δ ¹³C and δ ¹⁸
