Description:
Abstract:
This data set contains archaeological site boundaries and basic site attributes as recorded at the Florida Master Site File.
Purpose:
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.
Supplemental_Information:
Polygon Feature Notes: Archaeological sites in this data set often overlap one another. In some areas large polygons may completely obscure smaller ones. For this reason it may sometimes be helpful to display only polygon boundaries or use a transparent polygon fill. Alternatively, a point layer may be created from the centroids of the polygons.

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
The locations of archaeological sites, historic structures, unmarked human burials, cemeteries, and other cultural features contained in this (and other) Site File data layers are for resource management, law enforcement, and research purposes only. State law protects archaeological remains on state owned and controlled lands (section 267.13, Florida Statutes).

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
Archaeological sites in this data set often overlap one another. In some areas large polygons may completely obscure smaller ones. For this reason it may sometimes be helpful to display only polygon boundaries or use a transparent polygon fill. Alternatively, a point layer may be created from the centroids of the polygons.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The archaeological site data are based on field reports which have been submitted by many and varied individuals, groups, institutions, and cultural resource firms. Submissions to the Site File are sometimes accepted from amateurs (non-archaeologists) as well as professionals. The site locations and attributes are only as accurate as the information submitted to the Site File by the site recorder. The accuracy of submitted information cannot always be verified. The absence of archaeological sites in this data layer does not preclude the existence of an unrecorded site in the field. In fact, only an estimated 10% of the sites in existence are recorded at the Site File.
Completeness_Report:
This data set updates and replaces all previous versions of the Florida Master Site File archaeological sites data layer. This version incorporates newly recorded sites and updates of previously recorded site plots and attributes.
Data from the Florida Master Site File are continually updated. On average, the Site File processes 800 additional archaeological site forms each year. This data layer is only current as of the date of this document. Contact the Florida Master Site File for updated data layers.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Source data were created by the Division of Historical Resources. The original boundary data are based on field recording forms and site plots submitted to the Site File, which were then hand drawn onto primary series, USGS 7.5', 1:24,000 scale quadrangles. These paper quadrangles with site locations marked are the source maps and are located at the Florida Master Site File. Florida Master Site File site folders contain an Archaeological Site Form with descriptive location data and a photocopy of the source map.
In the first phase of compiling the FMSF GIS data layers, site boundaries marked on the source maps were hand digitized by an outside contractor using AutoCAD and a digitizing tablet. The four corners (NAD27) of the source maps were used to place the reference system tics. The AutoCAD files were converted to Arc/Info files, converted into geographic coordinates and joined into a statewide coverage. The statewide coverage was then split into 67 county level Arc/Info coverages. The coverages were converted to ArcGIS geodatabases in August 2003 and are now maintained in that format. Additions, updates, and maintenance to the archaeological GIS data layers are performed by Site File staff using on-screen digitizing in ArcMap. Scanned, georeferenced, 1:24,000 scale USGS quadrangles in geographic coordinates (lat./long., NAD27) are used as the base maps for the on-screen digitizing process.

Attribute_Label: SURVEVAL
Attribute_Definition:
Surveyor's evaluation of the cultural resource's eligibility for the National Register when the resource is considered as an independent entity, not as a component or "contributing property" to a potential district. Values in this field are limited to a discrete list of possibilities used in the Site File database lookup table. Contact the Site File for more information.
Attribute_Definition_Source: Bureau of Archaeological Research
Attribute:
Attribute_Label: SURVEYNUM
Attribute_Definition:
The serial number assigned by the Site File to the manuscript produced by the project which identified or reexamined the cultural resource. Not all sites have an associated report or manuscript.
Attribute_Definition_Source: Bureau of Archaeological Research
Attribute:
Attribute_Label: D_NRLISTED
Attribute_Definition:
Date that the site was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The field is blank if the FMSF database does not indicate the property is National Register listed.
Attribute_Definition_Source: Bureau of Archaeological Research
Attribute:
Attribute_Label: SHPOEVAL
Attribute_Definition:
Evaluation of Florida's State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) concerning the eligibility of the resource for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. In Florida, the SHPO is the Director of the Division of Historical Resources, acting through staff in the Bureau of Historic Preservation (BHP). Generally the Site File database only contains evaluations made by the Compliance Review staff of BHP. Some properties may be listed on the NRHP without having been reviewed by Compliance Review staff. Therefore, an NR list date (indicating a property is NR listed) takes priority over a 'Not Evaluated by SHPO' value in this field. Values in this field are limited to a discrete list of possibilities used in the Site File database lookup table. Contact the Site File for more information.

Attribute:
Attribute_Label: PLOTTYPE
Attribute_Definition:
A value of 'NORM' in this field indicates that the site plot represents the actual boundary of the archaeological resource as recorded by the surveyor. A value of 'GV' (general vicinity) in this field indicates that the site plot DOES NOT represent actual site boundaries, but rather bounds an area within which the site is believed to be located.
Attribute_Definition_Source: Bureau of Archaeological Research
Attribute:
Attribute_Label: HUMANREMNS
Attribute_Definition:
This item contains a 'YES' value if the type of site is a burial (Historic Burial, Prehistoric Burial, or Burial Mound) or if the Site File database indicates that human remains were observed at the site. All other sites have a blank value for this item. *IMPORTANT: A blank value for this item does NOT preclude the possibility of human remains being present at the site. It simply indicates that there is no record of human remains in the Site File electronic database. Note that records of historical cemeteries are kept in a separate Site File data layer and are not included with archaeological sites.

GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
