Welcome to an illustration of SEAD’s Database Structure
This illustration was created using the note-taking program, Obsidian., chosen for its graphical representation of the connections between notes.
The Strategic Environmental Archaeology Database (SEAD)
is a national research infrastructure for environmental archaeology data developed and managed at the Environmental Archaeology Lab (MAL) in collaboration with Humlab at Umeå University, Sweden. For more information, check out the SEAD web page, or check out the SEAD Browser to explore the data itself.
This web page provides a graphical representation of the structure of the SEAD database, with a note for every table and column in the database itself with links showing which columns are part of what tables.
In addition, there is another set of notes for mapping the Radiocarbon Data mapping in preparation for importation into SEAD. These notes are still in progress, but serve as a record of how the mapping is progressing, and thus will be available later for training others in the process of mapping a new dataset to SEAD.
Thus far the notes describing D. Site and O. Source are complete and linked to all of relevant SEAD tables and columns.
