Summary:•Archiud 87Sr/86Sr range: 0.70959 to 0.71016.•Archiud δ18OVSMOW range: 23.9 to 25.5‰.•Archiud δ13CVPDB range: −10.3 to −6.7‰.•24 non–local Romano–British individuals have isotope values similar to the Transylvania Basin. The Archiud “Hânsuri” cemetery in Transylvania, Romania is the burial site of a barbarian population from the Kingdom of the Gepids (4th–7th Cent AD).
