Column name Data type Column description
StrontiumID smallint Unique primary key
IndividualID varchar Unique ID for each human specimen
ItemID varchar Must exist in the Items table.
Species varchar Must exist in the TaxonCode table
Material varchar The material on which the analyses are based.
SkeletalElement varchar Skeletal element (case sensitive); lower case letters correspond to deciduous dentition and upper case correspond to adult dentition.
SkeletalPosition varchar
Leachate varchar Whether strontium measurements were extracted from leachate from the sample element.
Position varchar
SegmentLength decimal Segment length (cm) amalgamates the isotopic signal of the months of growth within that sample. Hair grows circa 1 cm per month, so a 5 cm segment includes isotopic information for 5 months.
SegmentMass decimal Mass of segment (mg).
LabCode varchar Original labcode provided by the lab that generated the strontium values.
Mean_87Sr/86Sr decimal Strontium isotopic ratio.
Error decimal Measurement error on the strontium ratio; equivalent to 2SE
ppm int
MassSpecType varchar Type of Mass Spectrometry.
