FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES:

Datafile Name: SHPO_CEMETERIES_JUL06.DBF

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
SITEID	This is the official state site number assigned by the Florida Master Site File. The state site number is an eight character string containing a two character county code, a five character numeric code, and an optional single letter character suffix (suffix letter is generally used to indicate sites that are functionally or spatially related).
SITENAME	The cemetery name as recorded at the Florida Master Site File. This is usually the principal or best known name for a cultural resource. A site name of "NN" indicatesno name has been designated for the site.
SURVEYNUM	The serial number assigned by the Site File to the manuscript produced by the projectwhich identified or reexamined the cultural resource. Not all cemeteries have an associated report or manuscript.
CITY	Nearest city or town to the cemetery.
YEARESTAB	If known, the actual date the cemetery was established.
OWNERSHIP	Ownership type.
CEMTYPE1	Cemetery type. Explanations of the types follow: COMMUNITY = A cemetery established by a group of families or residents of small villages which do not have an organized political structure. COMPANY TOWN = A cemetery associated with a community established for individual workers by a specific company mining, textile, iron working, cigar manufacturing, etc.. EPIDEMIC = A cemetery that was established to bury victims of an epidemic disease such as cholera, yellow fever, or influenza. FAMILY = A small, private burial place for members of the immediate or extended family. FRATERNAL ORDER = A burial ground established for a fraternity or other social organization MEMORIAL PARK = A cemetery established as a component part of a memorial park. MILITARY NOT NATIONAL = A burial ground established for war casualties, veterans, and eligible dependents. MUNICIPAL = A cemetery established by an agency of local government. NATIONAL = One of 130 burial grounds established by the Congress of the United States since 862 for interment of armed forces servicemen and women whose last service ended honorably. POTTER'S FIELD = A place for the burial of indigent or anonymous persons. PRISON = A cemetery associated with a state or federal prison that is used for burial of inmates who died while incarcerated. RELIGIOUS = A cemetery or graveyard associated with an organized religion. RURAL MOVEMENT = A burial place characterized by spacious landscaped grounds and romantic commemorative monuments established in a rural setting in the period of the young republic and at the dawn of the Victorian era. OTHER = If the cemetery type does not fall into one of the categories listed above it may be listed as other.
CEMTYPE2	See above
ETHNICGRP1	Ethnic groups interred
ETHNICGRP2	Ethnic groups interred
ETHNICGRP3	Ethnic groups interred
ETHNICGRP4	Ethnic groups interred
STATUS	Current status of cemetery.
CONDITION	Condition of the cemetery.
SHPOEVAL	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.
D_NRLISTED	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.
PLOTTYPE	A value of 'NORM' in this field indicates that the plot represents the actual boundary of the cultural 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.
DESCRIPT	Based on SITENAME
FGDLAQDATE	Date FGDL obtained data from source.

USER NOTES:

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology

This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data. The historic cemetery 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 locations are only as accurate as the locational information submitted to the Site File by the site recorder. The accuracy of submitted information cannot always be verified. The absence of a cultural resource in this data layer does not preclude the existence of an unrecorded resource in the field. The cemeteries recorded at the Site File represent only a fraction of the historic cemeteries present statewide. 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. State law protects human burial sites on all lands sections 872.02 and 872.05, Florida Statutes.

A note concerning data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasetsare 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. 1:250000 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 sectionand the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

This data was originally created by the Division of Historical Resources. It was created using on-screen (heads-up) digitizing of cemetery locations in Arc/Info. Scanned, georeferenced, 1:24,000 scale USGS quadrangles in geographic coordinates (lat./long., NAD27) were used as the backgroundreference images. In many cases the cemeteries already appear on the quad maps. Process Date: Unknown 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. -Reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN -Added DESCRIPT field based on SITENAME to attribute table -Added fields FGDLAQDATE -Upcased all items in the attribute table -Changed file name to shpo_cemeteries from HistoricalCemeteries Process Date: 20060817
