Artefacts made of the Mediterranean mollusc Spondylus gaederopus have been in the focus of archaeological research since the discovery and publication of the hoard of Bernburg, Germany, in 1885 by Rudolf Virchow. They are considered to be one of the first long-distance exchange goods in Europe, as the distribution of Spondylus artefacts spread between the Adriatic/Aegean Sea up to the Paris Basin during the Neolithic. While the dataset covers sites with Spondylus between the Palaeolithic and the Iron Age, the artefacts are described in detail for the time period between 5500 and 5000 BC. Funding statement: The research was funded by the Leibniz Association and the Ruhr-University Bochum.

This paper is based on the dataset that I collected during my doctoral research in Eastern Zimbabwe between 2015 and 2018. The dataset represents an investigation of pre-colonial and contemporary gold mining practices in this area and covers the period from AD 1300–2018 from an anthropological and archaeological perspective. The fieldwork conducted consists of archaeological excavations and surface collections that I carried out at three selected sites. Recovered material culture was then analysed using ethnographic analogies based on interviewing contemporary gold miners who were working near these sites. The dataset will be potentially useful to southern African archaeologists by offering them new direction on pre-colonial gold mining practices in a region where these have only been partially studied as appendages of iron production processes. The use of archaeological ethnography in this research also adds a multi- dimensional perspective in the interpretation of archaeological objects associated with pre-colonial gold mining practices in Eastern Zimbabwe. Funding statement: Financial support for this research project was received from the Wenner Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research through the Wadsworth Foundation African Doctoral Fellowship Programme (2015–2018).

The collection of this dataset of published archaeobotanical data from the Indus Civilisation (c.3200–1500BC) was carried out by the author as part of her doctoral work, and has continued up to October 2017. The dataset represents a systematic collation of all primary published macrobotanical data, regardless of their designation as ‘crop’, ‘fully domesticated’ or ‘wild/weedy’ species. The dataset comprises 63 sites and 339 ‘taxa’ (including less confidently identified elements such as ‘charred seed’). Data is presented as presence/absence due to different sampling, quantification and data presentation practices. Funding statement: This paper developed out of research conducted while the author was a PhD student working as part of the Land, Water and Settlement project, which has been investigating human–environment relations in northwest India. It presents material gathered for a literature review that formed part of the author’s PhD dissertation, and expanded upon during her first post-doctoral position as Trevelyan research fellow at Selwyn College, University of Cambridge. The PhD research was funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), United Kingdom (Grant No. 1080510), and this paper has been written up while she has been a Post-doctoral Research Associate at the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World, Brown University, and published while she is a post doctoral fellow at the Department of Anthropology, University of Pennsylvania. The Land, Water and Settlement project ran from 2007 to 2014 and was primarily funded by a Standard Award from the UK India Education Research Initiative United Kingdom (UKIERI) under the title ‘From the collapse of Harappan urbanism to the rise of the great Early Historic cities: Investigating the cultural and geographical transformation of northwest India between 2000 and 300 BC’. Smaller grants were also awarded by the British Academy’s Stein Arnold Fund, United Kingdom, the Isaac Newton Trust, the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, United Kingdom, and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), United Kingdom.

This paper addresses a database collected and constructed as part of PhD research project on the north-western coast of the Dominican Republic. The PhD was part of the ERC Synergy Grant NEXUS 1492: New World Encounters in a Globalizing World. The database was collected during fieldwork campaigns between 2014 and 2015. Fieldwork consisted of a regional survey, material culture registry and collection, test pit excavation, and processing relevant environmental variables. The archaeological data consists of a record of 102 archaeological sites, the material culture associated with them (lithic, shell and coral objects, shell mollusk species), and the relationship between site location and a set of relevant environmental variables used for statistical analysis. This database is one of the only open access archaeological databases available at the moment in the Caribbean and can be reused by any Caribbean archaeologist working in the Greater Antilles. Funding statement: This research has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013)/ERC grant agreement no 319209, under the direction of Prof. Dr. Corinne Hofman.

This dataset includes 4,582 obsidian artefacts matched to their natural geological source from 45 archaeological sites in New Zealand (Aotearoa). It is a compilation of a number of independent projects conducted in the laboratories of the University of Auckland and University of Otago from 2011 to 2018 [1–13]. It combines previously published studies [3, 5–13], an MA thesis [1], a BA(Hons) dissertation [2], a site report [4], and other previously unpublished primary data. The dataset has high reuse potential for future non-destructive studies of artefacts and social network analyses. Funding statement: This database began as part of a project funded by Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden Grant (UOA1619) and the support of Te Pūnaha Matatini.

The data and methods described were used to identify charcoal hearths on the Blue Mountain of eastern Pennsylvania. The data is derived from openly available LiDAR data and was modified using LASTools. This data was used to develop a methodology for the identification of charcoal hearths via a digital elevation model, a hillshade model and a slope analysis. This enabled the identification of 758 potential charcoal hearths. Data and detailed methods description are stored in Open Context and Zenodo. The technique used to produce this data has very high reuse potential since the tools employed are all open source and LiDAR data is often openly available for many states within the US, as well as other countries. An article for the journal, Historical Archaeology, that argues for openness in historical archaeology and utilizes this data has been published recently [1]. Funding statement: The work completed by Heather Lash was directly funded by the Office of the Provost of Muhlenberg College. Training (see acknowledgements) was funded through the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Science Foundation.
