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).
