This paper collates previously published data from incremental isotopic studies performed on faunal remains found within the modern boundaries of the United Kingdom (UK). The dataset represents a complete collection of zooarchaeological incremental data from the UK, consisting of 1,092 data points, obtained from 152 faunal specimens from 20 archaeological sites, dating from 7960 BC to AD 1300. 59 of these values are from incrementally sampled dentine and present stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios (δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N). The remaining 1,053 values are from incrementally sampled enamel, and present strontium (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, n= 193), and/or stable carbon and oxygen isotope ratios (δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O, n = 860). This dataset is a convenient resource for future researchers, enabling comparisons based on faunal species, time, and geographical location. Further, the dataset acts as a mechanism for researchers to investigate the variety of incremental sampling methodologies (enamel and dentine) which have been applied to faunal remains across the United Kingdom. For ease of access, this dataset has been deposited on the open-access platform IsoArcH (https://isoarch.eu/).
