Abstract

The structure of the Dutch Relational Archaeobotanical Database (RADAR) is presented. RADAR is a rather compact archaeobotanical database that is controlled centrally, but can be distributed to individual scientists. For this reason RADAR contains only the most important archaeobotanical data. For detailed archaeological, botanical and regional palaeoenvironmental information, links can be established with the national archaeological database (ARCHIS), the national botanical database (BBR) and the European Pollen Database (EPD). The software used for manipulation of the database is PARADOX for reasons of its highly visible nature, its control facilities for data entry and the ease of importing and exporting data from and to many other programs. The potential of the database is demonstrated with query examples.
