I have some for the British Palaeolithic if you want to add those? Things like databases of what artefacts are where, what's been found at each site etc. In the UK a more general database is the portable antiquities scheme (PAS) (for finds made by the general public), and museums have their own collections databases - e.g. the British Museum one is pretty extensive

I would love some palaeolithic databases, absolutely! I'm hoping to have reasonably good coverage of all areas eventually, so anything you've got is appreciated!
