FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:
item: item description
SITEID: This is the state site number (used as the primary key for all Site File
databases). The state site number is an eight character string containing
a two character county code, a five character numeric code ranging from 00001
to 99999, and an optional single letter character (suffix letter is generally
used to indicate sites that are functionally or spatially related).
FORMNO: Identifying code used to locate and track each site's original form and later
update form(s) in the Florida Master Site File database.
SITENAME: The site name as recorded at the Florida Master Site File. Usually the principal
or best known name for a cultural resource. A site name of "NN" indicates no
name has been designated for the site.
ADDRESS: The street address of the site, including the number, compass direction if relevant,
and street name.
SURVEY_NO: The serial number assigned by the Site File to the report or manuscript produced
by the survey or project which identified or reexamined the cultural resource.
Not all structures have an associated report or manuscript.
ARCHITECT: The name of the architect, designer, builder, landscape architect, or artist
responsible for the actual DESIGN of the building, structure, or object being
documented.
YEAR_BUILT: The year of actual construction, as documented or estimated. A "C" (circa)
indicates the year given is only roughly known or estimated. A "+" indicates
the year given is the earliest possible year of construction. A "-" indicates
that the year given is the latest possible year of construction.
STRUC_SYS1: Major structural system(s) employed in the structure. Values in this field
(as well as STRUC_SYS2 and STRUC_SYS3) are limited to a discrete list of
possibilities used in the Site File Smartform program. A list of these values
can be found in the field descriptions included in the Standing Structures
Smartform, available at http://dhr.dos.state.fl.us/msf/smartform.html
STRUC_SYS2: Major structural system(s) employed in the structure.
STRUC_SYS3: Major structural system(s) employed in the structure.
EXTERIOR_1: Major exterior fabric(s) used on the structure. Values in this field (as well
as EXTERIOR_2, EXTERIOR_3, and EXTERIOR_4) are limited to a discrete list of
possibilities used in the Site File Smartform program. A list of these values
can be found in the field descriptions included in the Standing Structure
Smartform, available at http://dhr.dos.state.fl.us/msf/smartform.html
EXTERIOR_2: Major exterior fabric(s) used on the structure.
EXTERIOR_3: Major exterior fabric(s) used on the structure.
EXTERIOR_4: Major exterior fabric(s) used on the structure.
STRUC_USE1: Present use of the structure. Values in this field (as well as STRUC_USE2 and
STRUC_USE3) are limited to a discrete list of possibilities used in the Site
File Smartform program. A list of these values can be found in the field
descriptions included in the Standing Structures Smartform, available at
http://dhr.dos.state.fl.us/msf/smartform.html
STRUC_USE2: Intermediate use of the structure
STRUC_USE3: Original use of the structure
LOCAL_SIG: Surveyor's evaluation of a cultural resource's eligibility for listing on a
local government's register of important sites. Values in this field (as
well as SURV_EVAL, SURV_DIST, and SHPO_EVAL) are limited to a discrete list
of possibilities used in the Site File Smartform program. A list of these values
can be found in the field descriptions included in the Standing Structures
Smartform, available at http://dhr.dos.state.fl.us/msf/smartform.html
SURV_EVAL: 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.
SURV_DIST: Surveyor's evaluation of cultural resource's eligibility for the National
Register as part of a district or thematic group.
SHPO_EVAL: Evaluation of Florida's State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) concerning
the eligibility of the site for listing on the National Register of Historic
Places. In Florida, the SHPO is the Director of the Division of Historic
Resources, acting through his staff in the Bureau of Historic Preservation.
D_NRLISTED: Date that the site was officially listed in the National Register of Historic
Places. The field is blank if the site is not listed on the National Register.
AV_STATUS: Indicates whether the structure was address Matched(M) or on-screen Digitized(D).
Refer to the discussion of data derivation methods for more details.
DESCRIPT: Based on STRUC_USE1
USER NOTES:
WARNINGS TO THE USER: The locations of archaeological sites, historic structures, unmarked human burials, cemeteries, and other cultural features contained in this (and other) Florida Master Site File data layers are for resource management, law enforcement, and research purposes only. This dataset contains archeological sites that are released for general public use and does not include all known sites. Contact the Florida Division of Historical Resources for further information concerning specific sensitive archeoloigcal sites.
FGDL QUALITY ASSURANCE STATUS:
- Set tolerances to FGDL Standards - Projected to FGDL Standards - Upcased items - Added Descript item - Updated problems with the Registration Marks (Tics).

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
Source data were created by the Divison of Historical Resources. The orginal location information is based on field reports and address data which have been submitted to the Florida Master File by many and varied individuals, groups, institutions, and cultural resources firms. Submissions to the Site File are sometimes accepted from amateurs as well as professionals. The accuracy of submitted information cannot always be verified. DATA CURRENCY: Data from the Florida Master Site File are continually updated. On Average, the Site File processes over 6,000 additional historic structure 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. DERIVATION METHODS FOR DATA: Structure locations in this data layer were derived using one of two methods, address matching or on-screen digitizing. The AV_STATUS field indicates whether a structure was address matched(M) or digitized(D). Roughly 70% of the structure locations (statewide) were generated by address matching.
