7 Dissemination of the database 7.1 General dissemination The WODAN project has been disseminated through a variety of different means both in Ireland, Europe and America. The primary source of dissemination has always been the WODAN website (www.wodan.ie) which is frequently updated and is a focus point for communications about the project. This was set up at the start of the project in 2008. Interim and final reports are available for download from the Heritage Council Website and sent electronically to all interested parties. 7.2 2008 Dissemination • June-July– Poster presentation - World Archaeological Congress (WAC-6) in Ireland. • September- Poster presentation- IVth International Meeting of Anthracology in Brussels • September-poster presentation - Association for Environmental Archaeology in Aarhus (Denmark) • Workshop – Charcoal database workshop (Mitchell Power, University of Utah), Brussels. • September- Handouts- European Archaeological Association in Malta 7.3 2009 Dissemination • July- poster presentation Institute of Archaeologists of Ireland in Dublin • August – poster presentation National Roads Authority Conference in Dublin • September – poster presentation 15 th annual meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists, held in Riva del Garda, Italy • October – poster presentation XXXe Rencontres Internationales d'Archéologie et d'Histoire d'Antibes in France • Date - 'Holz' symposium in the University of Karl-Franzens in Graz, Austria, • October – International workshop, Dublin (see below). • October – IWAA workshop (see below) 38
A networking site was created using Ning Social network software. It is available at http://wodan-eu.ning.com. It is expected that this site will become more active when the database has become active online. 7.4 2009 International workshop The international WODAN workshop was held on Tuesday 6 th October 2009 to demonstrate the database to the wider community and receive valuable feedback for its continuing development. A morning of introductions to the work to date was followed by a practical session in which the charcoal database was trialed in small groups. The feedback received from these sessions was indepth, specific to elements of the database, and very useful. Participants were also able to test out the database personally and discover how well their data would fit into the established model. The workshop was attended in total by twenty eight people, specialists not only in wood and charcoal but in related disciplines such as dendrochronology, pollen and insect analysis. The aim of the well rounded nature of the expertise was to make the database as easy to integrate with other disciplines as possible. While the main active members of the online database community will be the wood and charcoal specialists, other members of the environmental and archaeological community will be free to access information for comparable purposes. This will aim to provide integration of environmental and archaeological results. This is a crucial aspect that is sometimes missing in Irish archaeology, one that the WODAN project aims to go some way towards rectifying. All of the attendants at the International workshop got a chance to fill in some charcoal information on the database. This was extremely valuable in terms of the input received. Many features were flagged and discussed, in some cases the participants felt too many details were being recorded, and in other cases extra fields were called for where more description was necessary. The most important changed flagged as a direct result of the workshop can be seen in Appendix 3. After the International workshop, a user profile was set up for each participant to allow them to use the database online and come back to us with further comments. 39
