The development of the first version of the CRC 806 Database webportal is on the home stretch. A first internal launch of the webportal will shortly be upon us.

Basic functionality, such as user management, upload and download of data, a data catalogue and a WebGIS interface, is already implemented. At the moment, we are in the process of fixing and finding bugs and developing the content of the webportal for the internal launch.

The second path of development within the CRC 806 Database, the integration of archaeological, palaeoenvironmental and geoarchaeological datasets for integrated analysis and visualization, is also well advanced: c. 23,000 archaeological, c. 10,000 palaeoenvironmental and c. 500 geoarchaeological records and datasets are already integrated into the CRC 806 Database. Many more datasets and records are on our list for integration. This comprehensive integrated database will facilitate the research within the CRC 806 in many ways.
