FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES:

Datafile Name: SHPO_SURVEYS.DBF

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
FID	Internal feature number.
Shape	Feature geometry.
SURVNUM	This is the survey/manuscript identification number assigned to the project by the Site File.
TITLE	Main title of the survey report
PUB_DATE	Publication year of the survey report.
AUTHOR1	First author of the survey report. A blank value for this field indicates that the author is not known or not recorded in the Site File database.
AUTHOR2	Second author of survey report. A blank value for this field indicates that there is no secondary author or that the secondary author(s) are not known or recorded in the Site File database.
AUTHOR3	Third author of survey report (Infrequently, there are more than three authors. Contact FMSF for more info).
SPONSOR	Agency, company, or individual sponsoring/requiring work.
NUM_NEW	Number of newly recorded cultural resources identified by the survey. An empty value for this item indicates that this information is not recorded for this survey number in the Site File database.
NUM_OLD	Number of previously recorded cultural resources examined by the survey. An empty value for this item indicates that this information is not recorded for this survey number in the Site File database.
CRATNUM	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.
ARCHAEO	A value of 'YES' for this item indicates that the polygon represents an archaeological survey. Note that many surveys are both archaeological and architectural. A blank value for this item indicates that the survey/manuscript is not recorded as an archaeological survey in the Site File database.
STRUC	A value of 'YES' for this item indicates that the polygon represents an architectural/structure survey. Note that many surveys are both archaeological and architectural. A blank value for this item indicates that the survey/manuscript is not recorded as an architectural survey in the Site File database.
MARINE	A value of 'YES' for this item indicates that the polygon represents a marine survey. A marine survey is one in which all or part of the project area is in a marine setting. A survey may be both archaeological or architectural and marine. A blank value for this item indicates that the survey/manuscript is not recorded as a marine survey in the Site File database.
CELL	A value of 'YES' for this item indicates that the polygon represents a cell tower cultural resource assessment survey. Standards and requirements for conducting a cell tower cultural resource assessment may differ from those of a standard field survey. Contact the Division of Historical Resources for more information. A blank value for this item indicates that the survey/manuscript is not recorded as a cell tower survey in the Site File database.
DESCRIPT	Based on TITLE
FGDLAQDATE	Date FGDL obtained data from source.

USER NOTES:

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

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. 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.

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. 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 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. Process Date: Unknown 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. Process Date: Unknown When received by Geoplan, the data was in the following projection: Geographic, Datum: NAD27, Spheroid: Clarke 1866, Units: Decimal Degrees. The shapefile was projected to FGDLAlbers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) in ArcToolBox using the Florida Harn Transformation. -Reprojected to FGDL Albers HPGN -Added DESCRIPT field based on TITLE to attribute table -Added fields FGDLAQDATE based on date GeoPlan received the data -Upcased all items in the attribute table -Changed file name to shpo_surveys from FieldSurveys Process Date: 20060414
