From spreadsheets to open repositories: challenges of 30 years of anthracological studies

Le résumé fourni par la source

Between 1996 and 2008 in Spain the demand for archaeological excavations intensified due to changes in heritage laws and an increase in infrastructure development prior to the 2008 financial crisis. During this time, several archaeology companies supported anthracological studies and sampling. Although approaches to sampling and sample processing were not always systematic, handpicked charcoal fragments were collected for study, giving rise to numerous datasets, which were occasionally published in local monographs or journals. However, several of these datasets have remained unpublished. Supported by European policies related to open science, IPHES-CERCA has been able to undertake the publication of these datasets on the CORA.RDR platform. This recovered data provides significant new information regarding the presence of taxa from sites in the north-eastern and central Iberian Peninsula of diverse chronologies, from prehistoric to modern times.
