Human archaeogenetics is a fast accelerating field, with new data being published faster than individual researchers can keep track of and co-analyze. Recently, the threshold of genome-wide data for 10,000 ancient human individuals was surpassed, with many of these samples featuring rich
metadata ranging from archaeological field observations to radiocarbon dating. Poseidon is an open computational framework to enable standardised and FAIR handling of genotypes with this highly relevant context information. It
includes a well-specified data format, advanced software tools, and public, community-maintained archives to support the entire archaeogenetic research cycle, from data acquisition to management, analysis and publication.
