Note this could be moved to a more generic package/checklist in general.

For our particular usecase, in archaeological/anthropological ancient DNA studies we often will incorporate results such as previously-published radiocarbon dating (age of the skeleton), or stable isotope information (for diet, during-life mobility), so it could be useful to include critical information about this here.

One caveat is that much archaeological literature is published in books, so I wonder if {PMID}|{DOI}|{URL} should be extended to ISBN or some other similar permanent accession number.
