ArchLab uses the Strategic Environmental Archaeology Database (SEAD) for storage and dissemination of research results and raw data. SEAD is part of Swedigarch, the Swedish National Infrastructure for Digital Archaeology. Data are currently available from MAL, with data from AFL and LWD (see Labs) being ingested over time. Legacy data from the now closed National Laboratory for Ceramics Research (KFL) in Lund is also available. A considerable expansion of the data for dendrochronology and wood anatomy is currently underway in the ‘Old wood in a New Light’ project headed by Lund, and data from the entire Swedigarch consortium will eventually be incorporated.
SEAD provides open access to archaeological science data created by the consortium partners or provided from other sources, including the international fossil insect database BugsCEP.
