Title:Main Title: ROAD: The Role of Culture in Early Expansion of Humans data base
Descriptions:Abstract: The project 'The Role of Culture in Early Expansions of Humans' is funded by the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and is projected to run for 20 years. The new research centre's aim is to reconstruct the spatial and temporal patterns of the expansions of hominins between three million and 20,000 years ago in Africa and Eurasia. The main goal of the project is to explain the biotic and abiotic reasons for different hominin expansions. Implicit in the current working hypothesis is the assumption that the influence of changing environmental conditions decreased as the importance of cultural and technological innovations grew. To achieve these general objectives a relational spatial information system was developed and implemented containing information about archaeology, palaeontology and physiographic circumstances. In this paper we focus on the technical issues of this database, its functionalities and preliminary implementation in order to assess early human expansions.
