Summary Data Sheets for ROAD Localities (2025)

The Summary Data Sheets derived from the ROCEEH Out of Africa Database (ROAD) offer a clear, easy-to-read overview of individual localities in the database. They are designed to show all key information about a site at a glance, bringing together essential details such as where a site is located and what kinds of finds and data are available. With their structured layout and visual elements, the Summary Data Sheets help users quickly understand what information exists for each site and how it is organized. This resource is ideal for anyone who wants a quick, accessible overview of ROAD localities without diving into detailed database queries. The Summary Data Sheets are a derivative of 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.
