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

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/<sup>144</sup...

Spatial patterns in ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios in modern human dental enamel and tap water from the Netherlands: Implications for forensic provenancing

The analysis of strontium isotope ratios in human dental enamel has become important in the fields of archaeological and forensic science for determining provenance and hence mobility. The prerequisite for the approach relies on a correlation between dietary Sr intake and the underlying local geology. This premise is brought into question for...
