These datasets contain zooarchaeological, isotopic, ZooMS, and radiocarbon data from animal remains excavated at three archaeological sites in Central Greece dating from the Classical through the Hellenistic Periods.

Zooarchaeological data were collected by Dimitris Filioglou and Wietske Prummel, isotopic data by Antonio Delgado Huertas, William P. Patterson, Sandra Timsic and Leopoldo D. Pena, ZooMS data by Samantha Presslee, and radiocarbon data by Sanne Palstra, as part of Filioglou’s PhD project.

By using state-of-the-art and traditional archaeological methods, these datasets provide a new insight into the long-lasting debate over the scale of animal husbandry and mobility in ancient Greece.

Parts of the data deposited in this dataset in DataverseNL can also be found as supplementary materials in the relevant published papers (see Related Publications listed below) in JAS: Report (2021), Journal of Field Archeology (2023), and PLOS One (2024).
