“…SAAID 1 is hosted in CORA (Catalan Deposit of Research Data) platform and Pandora platform into the repository of PACHAMAMA: Archaeological Databases from South America Community. The structure of SAAID 1 is based on the structure of other similar databases and previous compilations of bioarchaeological isotopic data [43][44][45][46] . SAAID 1 is made available as a single Excel spreadsheet file with three separate sheets for data: (1) humans, (2) fauna, and (3) plants, and one for metadata description (SAAID_V.2.0_2023.xlxs), and derived versions in open-access formats (a ODS file -SAAID_V.2.0_2023.ods; and three CSV files -SAAID_V.2.0_2023_Humans.…”

The South American Archaeological Isotopic Database (SAAID) is a comprehensive open-access resource that aggregates all available bioarchaeological stable and radiogenic isotope measurements, encompassing data from human individuals, animals, and plants across South America. Resulting from a collaborative effort of scholars who work with stable isotopes in this region, SAAID contains 53,781 isotopic measurements across 24,507 entries from individuals/specimens spanning over 12,000 years. SAAID includes valuable contextual information on archaeological samples and respective sites, such as chronology, geographical region, biome, and spatial coordinates, biological details like estimated sex and age for human individuals, and taxonomic description for fauna and flora. SAAID is hosted at the PACHAMAMA community within the Pandora data platform and the CORA repository to facilitate easy access. Because of its rich data structure, SAAID is particularly well-suited for conducting spatiotemporal meta-analyses. It serves as a valuable tool for addressing a variety of research topics, including the spread, adoption, and consumption intensification of food items, paleo-environmental reconstruction, as well as the exploration of mobility patterns across extensive geographic regions.
