This project will significantly enhance the HALOGEN (History, Archaeology, Linguistics, Onomastics and GENetics) cross-disciplinary spatial research database established in 2010 (www.le.ac.uk/Halogen). This is used to support the multidisciplinary 'Roots of the British' and 'Diasporas' research collaborations (www2.le.ac.uk/projects/roots-of-the- british) that seeks to interrogate evidence for the migration and/or continuity of human populations in the British Isles in the distant past. HALOGEN is now a key research tool underpinning the work of these teams. It is intended to: extend the coverage of existing Portable Antiquities Scheme data in the database; add three new sources of spatial data relating to surname distributions and genetics; investigate and deploy an improved 'data extract' tool to enable researchers easier access to data; and to undertake a feasibility study into the provision of a simple web-based enquiry tool. These enhancements will add significant value to this research asset. The work wi l cover all phases of the project life cycle from requirements analyses through to the implementation of practical, cost-effective solutions which exploit the existing research assets within the organisation in terms of the IT infrastructure and technical expertise both within IT Services and Geography.
