An international standard database for environmental archaeology data is under development at the Environmental Archaeology Lab (MAL), in collaboration with HUMlab, at Umeå University, Sweden.

The system will allow the online storage, extraction, analysis and visualisation of data on past climates, environments and human impacts, and will form part of an international network of research infrastructure for environmental archaeology and Quaternary palaeoecology.

Our mission is to provide online tools to aid international researchers in these tasks, and to provide access to data that are currently not accessible online. Please click the links above for more information...

SEAD is financed by The Swedish Research Council and Umeå University.

SEAD is recruiting! If you are interested in one year of project based work, and can read and write both English and Swedish, then please see the job advert on the university website.
