The WODAN database is an integrated wood and charcoal database from Irish archaeological sites, with the possibility of international applications. The level of work in environmental archaeology has increased greatly in Ireland over the past ten years. At the moment, a large proportion of wood and charcoal results appear in appendices to stratigraphical reports or in unpublished internal reports and are not widely available, with some exceptions. A further problem is that, due to demand more material is being studied outside Ireland where these results are not being integrated into the Irish environmental record. This project aims to provide an pan European integrated solution to the sharing and standardisation of wood and charcoal data.

The current website will be updated at the end of 2010. If you wish to be a part of WODAN or the website please contact us.

The WODAN database is online and is being used by the Irish wood specialists. WODAN will become available online to the wider community at the end of this year.

This project is supported by the Heritage Council under the Irish National Strategic Archaeological Research (INSTAR) Programme
