Freeing information to the people : Using the past to aid the future

Abstract

Dr Philip Buckland discusses his recent project SEAD: the web-accessible scientific database that crosses archaeological and environmental disciplines.  Disciplines as diverse as anthropology and palaeoecology take an interest in our environment and how we have treated it. The Strategic Environmental Archaeology Database aims to create a multi-proxy, GIS-ready database for environmental and archaeological data to aid multidisciplinary researchProject SEAD: https://www.sead.se/SEAD - The Strategic Environmental Archaeology Databas
