IsoMedIta collects human, animal, and plant stable isotope measurements (δ13C, δ15N, δ18O, δ34S, 87Sr/86Sr) from medieval Italian archaeological sites. We designed a highly characterised metadata structure for which isotopic data is defined by historical and archaeological information that at best fits with medieval Italian societies. Environmental and biological categories further describe the data. Additional fields include spatio-temporal localisation of samples and the cross-identification of database entries with original sources.
