The oxygen (δO), strontium (Sr/Sr), and previously unpublished carbon (δC) isotope data presented herein from the Imperial Roman site of Velia (ca. 1st to 2nd c. CE) were obtained from the dental enamel of human permanent second molars (M2). In total, the permanent M2s of 20 individuals (10 male and 10 female) were sampled at the Museo delle Civiltà in Rome (formerly the Museo Nazionale Preistorico Etnografico "L. Pigorini") and were subsequently processed and analysed at McMaster University. A subsample of teeth (n=5) was initially subjected to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis to assess for diagenetic alteration through calculation of crystallinity index (CI) values. Subsequently, tooth enamel was analysed for δC and δO (VPDB) using a VG OPTIMA Isocarb isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS) at McMaster Research for Stable Isotopologues (MRSI), and Sr/Sr was measured by dynamic multi-collection using a thermal ionization mass spectrometer (TIMS) in the School of Geography and Earth Sciences. The dental enamel isotope data presented represent the first δO, δC, and Sr/Sr values analysed from Imperial Roman Campania to date, providing data of use for comparative analyses of δO, δC, and Sr/Sr values within the region and for assisting in documenting human mobility in archaeological contexts. Full interpretation of the δO and Sr/Sr data presented here is provided in "Imperial Roman mobility and migration at Velia (1 to 2 c. CE) in southern Italy" [1].
本文展示的来自韦利亚帝国罗马遗址（公元1世纪至2世纪）的氧（δO）、锶（Sr/Sr）以及此前未发表的碳（δC）同位素数据，是从人类恒牙第二磨牙（M2）的牙釉质中获取的。总共从罗马文明博物馆（前身为国家史前与民族志博物馆“L. 皮戈里尼”）采集了20个人（10名男性和10名女性）的恒牙M2样本，随后在麦克马斯特大学进行处理和分析。最初对一部分牙齿样本（n = 5）进行了傅里叶变换红外光谱（FTIR）分析，通过计算结晶度指数（CI）值来评估成岩蚀变情况。随后，在麦克马斯特稳定同位素研究室（MRSI）使用VG OPTIMA Isocarb同位素比率质谱仪（IRMS）对牙釉质进行δC和δO（VPDB）分析，在地理与地球科学学院使用热电离质谱仪（TIMS）通过动态多接收法测量Sr/Sr。本文呈现的牙釉质同位素数据代表了迄今为止从罗马帝国坎帕尼亚地区分析得到的首批δO、δC和Sr/Sr值，为该地区δO、δC和Sr/Sr值的比较分析以及协助记录考古背景下的人类迁移提供了有用数据。“意大利南部韦利亚（公元1至2世纪）的罗马帝国时期的人口流动与迁徙”[1]中提供了此处展示的δO和Sr/Sr数据的完整解读。
