Description:

Abstract:

This data set contains cultural resource field survey project boundaries and basic survey 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:

Survey projects depicted in this coverage vary widely in intensity, scope and quality. Surveys often document only a particular class of cultural resource, such as bridges only or archaeological sites only. It CANNOT be assumed that because an area has been surveyed, all cultural resources in the area have been identified. This coverage is best used as a spatial index to field surveys reported to the Florida Master Site File.

This data layer only represents a subset of all research manuscripts on file at the Florida Master Site File and includes archaeological and architectural field survey projects. Other research manuscripts on file at the Site File (but NOT represented in this dataset) include: archaeological excavation reports, unpublished overviews of groups of cultural resources, documents based only on library or archival research, detailed reports on standing structures, and survey reports prepared by the United States Forest Service for projects carried out on National Forest properties.

Access_Constraints:

The field survey projects 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 as well as professionals. The survey locations are only as accurate as the location information submitted to the Site File by the author or organization producing the report. The accuracy of submitted information cannot always be verified.

Survey projects depicted in this coverage vary widely in intensity, scope and quality. Surveys often document only a particular class of cultural resource, such as bridges only or archaeological sites only. It CANNOT be assumed that because an area has been surveyed, all cultural resources in the area have been identified.

Use_Constraints:

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. 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>

Completeness_Report:

This data set updates and replaces all previous versions of the Florida Master Site Field Surveys data layer. This version incorporates newly recorded surveys and updates of previously recorded ones.

Data from the Florida Master Site File are continually updated. On average, the Site File processes 500 additional survey manuscripts 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_Description:

Source data were created by the Division of Historical Resources. The original survey boundary data are based on manuscripts and project maps submitted to the Site File, which were then hand drawn onto USGS 1:100,000 scale metric topographic maps. These paper maps with survey boundaries marked were hand digitized by an outside contractor using AutoCAD and a digitizing tablet. The four corners (NAD27) of these maps were used to place the reference system tics. The AutoCAD files were converted to Arc/Info files in geographic coordinates and joined into a statewide coverage using the Arc/Info 7.2.1. In September 2003 the base coverages were migrated to ArcGIS geodatabases. Additions, updates, and maintenance of this data are performed by Site File staff using on-screen digitizing in ArcGIS. Scanned, georeferenced, 1:24,000 scale and 1:100,000 scale USGS topographic maps are used as the background for the on-screen digitizing process.

Attribute_Definition:

This is the file number assigned to the manuscript/survey project by the Compliance Review section of the Florida Bureau of Historic Preservation. The CRAT number points to documents relating to discovery, assessment and preservation of cultural resources. The Compliance Review office reviews more than 9,000 development projects annually for impact on known or potential cultural resources and calls when appropriate for field work to determine or to mitigate the impact of such developments. The first two or four digits of the CRAT number represent the year and the last four or five are assigned in sequential order for each year. Not all survey reports in this coverage have a CRAT number. A zero or null value for this item indicates that either no CRAT number exists for the project or the CRAT number for this project is not recorded in the Site File database.
