I would second Morphosource and Zenodo. Both are publicly funded nd the
sort of data you probably have would be no problem for them=colleagues have
deposited whole MicroCT datasets on both with no problem. Morphosource will
only currently take scan data, not collected landmark data.
 Figshare is also good but is a private company with the caveats as to
long-term sustainability that this entails, but your institution may have a
pricing plan which means that you can deposit over the standard maximum .
All 3 will give you a DOI for your data, so it should be easy to track use
as well as not having to worry when a hyperlink changes.
To clarify for non-UK based people, the ADS charges for deposition of data
as it guarantees long-term curation and migration to newer file formats as
old ones become obsolete (The charges fund the site, and it does a lot of
dissemination of commercial archaeological reports this way).
