Data and Code for: The Horse in the Ceremony—Isotopic Evidence for Diverse Geographic Locales of Bronze Age Horses from the Middle and Upper Reaches of the Yellow River, China

his dataset supports the manuscript, “The Horse in the Ceremony: Isotopic Evidence for Diverse Geographic Locales of Bronze Age Horses from the Middle and Upper Reaches of the Yellow River, China.” The dataset contains two files: S1.xlsx: the study data used for the strontium-isotope baseline analysis, provenance assessment, statistical analyses, and reported visualizations. JAS_Sr_Isoscape_Reproducibility_Code.zip: Python code and documentation for reproducing the random forest regression model of bioavailable \(^{87}\mathrm{Sr}/^{86}\mathrm{Sr}\), cross-validation metrics, isoscape generation, animal-to-baseline compatibility matching, and associated figures.

The code archive includes a README file describing the required input format, software dependencies, and commands for reproducing the analyses.
