GlobaLID

GlobaLID is the Global Lead Isotope Database and aims to facilitate the access to, publication of, and work with lead isotope data for the reconstruction of raw material provenances, especially in archaeology. Its idea was born by members of the archaeometallurgy group at the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum (DBM) in 2018 with the endeavour to merge the databases of the different group members. While the project evolved it was decided to make the new database available to be public in complicance with the FAIR principle to ease the access to lead isotope data. At the same time it was decided to develop an interface to the database that should also allow non-experts to work with the database and that all output of the project will be made available in open access/open source

In 2023, the project evolved significantly. It consists now of a truly international team. In addition, funding by the DFG was successfully acquired for three years to turn GlobaLID from a side-project into the research data infrastructure we envision, starting in February 2024. Consequently, information about GlobaLID is now presented on its own webpage, where you will find more information about the project, including up-to-date information and announcements on the project blog.
