 The column `Alternative_IDs` provides a way to list other IDs used for the respective individual. These might be formal identifiers in datasets beyond Poseidon, e.g. `Master ID`s in specific AADR releases, or identifiers used in different publications, or even just popular names like ["Iceman"/"Ötzi"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96tzi), ["Girl of the Uchter Moor"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_of_the_Uchter_Moor), or ["Tollund Man"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tollund_Man).
 
-To document the context of such an `Alternative_IDs` entry, the column `Alternative_IDs_Context` (introduced in Poseidon v3.0.0) allows to provide the necessary context. It is a list column with the same length and order as the `Alternative_IDs` list column, where the name of the respectice source database, e.g. `AADRv62`, must be entered. For common non-scientific names used in media and public discussion, the term `popular` can be entered.

 The `Collection_ID` column stores additional, secondary identifiers used by collaboration partners (archaeologists, museums, collections) that provide the specimen for archaeogenetic research (see also `Custodian_Institution` below). These identifiers can have a very heterogenous structure and may not be unique across different projects or institutions. The `Collection_ID` column is therefore a free-form text list column.
