Entity Relationship Diagram for the ROCEEH Out of Africa Database (ROAD)

Description

This diagram provides a graphical representation of the Entity Relationship Model (ERM) for the ROCEEH Out of Africa Database (ROAD). It visually illustrates the structure of the SQL-based relational database, showing how tables and attributes are interconnected.

The Entity Relationship Diagram, along with the accompanying Manual and Table Descriptions, offers valuable insights into the ROAD database. This resource focuses on human prehistory, spanning from 3,000,000 to 20,000 years ago, covering Africa and Eurasia. It includes data from multiple disciplines, such as archaeology, paleoanthropology, paleoenvironmental studies, and geography. The database is curated by the research center The Role of Culture in Early Expansions of Humans (ROCEEH) and funded by the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
