FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:
ITEM ITEM DESCRIPTION
SHAPE Data attribute inherent to the ESRI shapefile format,
which defines the data as a point, polyline, or polygon.
AREA This ArcInfo generated field is empty(0) for point coverages.
PERIMETER This ArcInfo generated field is empty(0) for point coverages.
ALL_STRUCS# ArcInfo generated id# (**=two letter county code)
ALL_STRUCS-ID ArcInfo id# (**=two letter county code)
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" or a blank value indicates no name has been designated
for the site.
ADDRESS The street address of the site, including the number, prefix
direction if relevant, and street name.
SURVEYNUM 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. A blank value for this
field indicates that this information is not known or is not
recorded in the Florida Master Site File database.
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. A blank value for this field
indicates that this information is not known or is not recorded in
the Florida Master Site File database.
STYLE The architectural style or period which best describes the site.
EXT_PLAN General exterior plan of the structure.
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. A
blank value for this field indicates that this information is not
known or is not recorded in the Florida Master Site File database.
STRUC_SYS2 Major structural system(s) employed in the structure.
STRUC_SYS3 Major structural system(s) employed in the structure.
EXT_FABRC1 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. A
blank value for this field indicates that this information is not
known or is not recorded in the Florida Master Site File database.
EXT_FABRC2 Major exterior fabric(s) used on the structure.
EXT_FABRC3 Major exterior fabric(s) used on the structure.
EXT_FABRC4 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. A blank value for
this field indicates that this information is not known or is not
recorded in the Florida Master Site File database.
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 Historical Resources, acting through 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.
PLOT_MTHD Indicates whether the structure was address Matched(M) by DHR, on-
screen Digitized(D) by DHR, or automated by an external individual
or organization(X). Refer to the discussion of data derivation
methods for more details.

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. Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling 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. 1:250000 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 analyses. 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 web pages at: http://www.geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
This data was originally created by the Division of Historical Resources. The data was received on a CDrom in Coverage format. The data was released in September 2002. When received, the data was in the following projection: Geographic, Datum: NAD27, Spheroid: Clarke 1866, Units: Decimal Degrees. The shapefile was projected to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) in ArcToolBox using the Florida Harn Transformation.
