First day of @isoarch.bsky.social's first hackathon/addition was fun! We talked about the repository's structure, what kind of data we're excited for, and started chatting on our Discord. Excited to see how this goes 😊 #OpenData

The resource allows to share standardized isotope data openly, according to FAIR and CARE principles. More generally, it helps for building baselines for dietary reconstruction and mobility of humans and animals. It stores archaeological and environmental data.
