The data were recorded for the associated scientific publications and are intended for archaeogeophysical landscape reconstructions, particularly gyttja and Rotliegend clay mapping. Data acquisition was carried out in three field campaigns in 2022 (April, July, and August) using a 200 MHz GPR system. The survey consists of 2D GPR profiles with an approximate line spacing of 5–10 m. Depth penetration varies spatially and is primarily controlled by subsurface moisture conditions and clay content. Further details on the survey design, processing, and interpretation are provided in Detjens et al. (2024) and Detjens et al. (2026). 2.: Legacy Core Data of the Elmshorn Area, Schleswig-Holstein Description: This dataset contains digitised borehole and information from Quaternary geological investigations in the Elmshorn area, Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany. The dataset comprises borehole locations, depth information, and sedimentological descriptions of individual subsurface layers. The data originate from multiple legacy sources, including governmental borehole databases and unpublished or university diploma theses. Original sediment descriptions were standardised and translated into English to ensure consistency across the dataset and to facilitate comparative analysis. Each record is associated with a unique borehole identifier (UWI). Intended use: Regional-scale geological and sedimentological analyses, subsurface stratigraphic correlation, and contextual support for Quaternary geological mapping. The dataset is not intended for site-specific engineering applications or geotechnical design. 3.: Legacy Archaeological Site Locations of Lieth Moor Description: This dataset contains point representations of legacy archaeological sites in the Lieth Moor area, northern Germany. The shapefile was compiled for regional- scale geostatistical analyses conducted in the associated publication investigating red Rotliegend clays and prehistoric site distributions. The data are derived from the ALSH Landesaufnahme and were re-evaluated and temporally attributed by members of the CRC 1266 B1 project. Each point represents the approximate location of an archaeological site, which may correspond to a collection of finds, a monument, or a single artefact occurrence, depending on the original documentation. Intended use: Regional spatial and statistical analyses. The dataset is not intended for site-scale interpretation or excavation planning. 4.: Regional Rotliegend depth model of Lieth Moor Description: This dataset comprises a geotiff file of the Rotliegend depth model used as an input for geostatistical analyses within Detjens et al. (2026). The model was derived from the Base Quaternary map after A. Grube (1997) and the Prussian topographic land survey (1878) as a Palaeo-DEM. For further details please refer to Detjens et al.
