This dataset belongs to a research that was carried out on bitumen excavated at Tell Abraq, a Bronze Age period site located in the United Arab Emirates. Several bitumen samples from various contexts were sampled and subjected to both GC-MS and Stable Carbon Isotope Analysis. This dataset holds: -Measured d13C values -GC-MS Raw Data (registered by Agilent Software) -Peak surfaces and molecular ratios (both .xlsx and .csv format, both are identical) -Photos linked to the samples
