Data consists of NIRS average spectra of elephant ivory: African ivory, wild Asiana ivory and domesticated Asian ivory. 

Software/equipment used to create/collect the data: NIR spectrometers
Device 1 (600 – 1100 nm) at 0.46 nm scanning resolution, interactance mode;
Device 2 (700 – 1200 nm) at 0.23 nm scanning resolution, interactance mode, and;
Device 3 (900 – 1700 nm) with scanning resolution of 2.50 nm, reflectance mode.   

Software/equipment used to manipulate/analyse the data: Unscrambler 11 used for data processing and analysis using Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA).

The workbook includes 6 datasheets - for devices (D) 1-3 and longitudinal plane samples (LP) or cross-sectional plane (XP) samples e.g. D1_LP
