Nordic Evidence Atlas

This shared interactive map bundle was generated on 2026-06-28 from Homo sapiens AADR v66 plus any governed contextual and animal surfaces that the active scope contract allows.

Nordic is the regional detail surface. It keeps the shared human and animal evidence layers, then adds Nordic-only environmental, archaeology, boundary, and fieldwork overlays that remain interpretable at this scale.

Bundle Notes

  • This bundle is a generated publication artifact, not a source dataset.
  • Local leaflet assets are copied into ./_map_assets so the HTML does not depend on CDN-hosted library files.
  • Basemap tiles are still requested from the active cartographic provider at runtime, so an offline browser session will not display background tiles.
  • The interactive map presents the records and overlays that were generated into this bundle. Ranking artifacts are published alongside it and carry stricter evidence boundaries than the map view itself.
  • Default basemap: voyager
  • The opening extent stays tight on Nordic countries so lake, site, and archaeology context reads as map content rather than background noise.

Governed Filters

  • Country filters
  • Layer toggles
  • Search
  • Time window
  • Distance circles
  • Basemap switch
  • Animal species focus when animal layers are present
  • Animal scope when animal layers are present
  • Animal coordinate confidence when animal layers are present
  • Animal temporal windows when animal layers are present
  • Nordic animal leads only when animal layers are present

Scope Caveats

  • Nordic-specific overlays describe the current Nordic recovery slice and must not be generalized outward.
  • Animal points can remain visible even when their Nordic relevance is regional rather than one exact country.
  • Approximate or inferred coordinates remain visible with explicit warnings instead of being silently dropped.

Animal aDNA Layers

  • Total animal locality points: 2
  • Shipped animal species: 1
  • Domesticated-core species layers: 1
  • Comparator species layers: 0

Visible Animal Caveats

  • Approximate or inferred coordinates remain visible with explicit warnings.
  • Comparator-only evidence remains visible without being counted as domesticated-core support.
  • Weak or rejected support classes remain labeled in point popups instead of being silently hidden.
  • Nordic relevance can remain regional rather than one exact named country.
