The Table Descriptions offer comprehensive documentation for the ROCEEH Out of Africa Database (ROAD). The data is organized within a relational schema, and the table descriptions provide a detailed overview of the database's structure. This includes information on primary and foreign keys, column data types, naming conventions, and code values used for data entries. This resource is crucial for understanding the database's organization, allowing users to establish meaningful relationships between tables and craft accurate, insightful queries. The Table Description, along with the accompanying Manual and Entity Relationship Diagram, offers valuable insights into 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.
