The results of the investigation found that at least half of the Little Midden Site (BR1933) had been mined for fill to be used at the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse and to stabilize unpaved roads during the 1950s. In spite of this portions of the site were still intact as evident by the presence of features and dense midden. The site does have the potential to yield additional information and as such is NRHP eligible under Criteria D. In addition human remains were found at the site and were...

SpaceX obtained approval and modified existing LC-40 at CCAFS in Florida. The successful inaugural launch of the Falcon 9 from LC-40 occurred on June 4, 2010. SpaceX's future plans include launching a "heavy" vehicle from LC-40. In order to accommodate the new vehicle, expansion of the launch complex is required. Jn support of the proposed expansion to LC-40 the 45 SW CRM conducted a cultural resources assessment survey of the project area. The survey was conducted in June through August 2013....

In support of the Habitat Restoration Program at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) a program to systematically conduct cultural resource surveys of land management units (LMUs) was established. The purpose of the cultural resource surveys is to identify and establish boundaries of previously unrecorded archaeological sites. In January 2009 a survey was conducted of LMU 109 and is the subject of this report. Land Management Unit 109 was subjected to a cultural resources assessment to...

A Phase I Cultural Resource Assessment Survey (CRAS) was conducted of the area of potential effect (APE) for the proposed Florida Power and Light (FP&L) substation on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS). A systematic surface reconnaissance and archaeological testing was conducted of the property to located structures or remains of historic habitation of the site. An area survey was conducted of the adjacent parcels to record any potential impacts to adjoining historic properties. A surface...

Land Management Unit 109 was subjected to a cultural resources assessment to identify the presence of archaeological sites or historic properties. Background research determined the area was highly disturbed and had little potential for intact cultural resources. The subject property was then subjected to a systematic archaeological survey which confirmed the findings of the background research. No further action is needed within this LMU.

In 2007, personnel conducting a census of the Florida Scrub Jay population at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) reported finding prehistoric ceramics at the tip of the base within an unpaved road. A check of the databases confirmed this was an unrecorded site and a preliminary surface survey was conducted. The 45 SW CRM returned to the location in 2008 to conduct a formal Phase 1 archaeological survey. The purpose of the cultural resource survey was to identify the archaeological site and...

A systematic archaeological survey was conducted of all the accessible areas within LMU 84. Based on the investigation one prehistoric site (8BR2174) and two Cold War Associates sites (8BR2367 and 8BR2515) were identified. At this time it is thought that the Beach Trail Site (8BR2174) is not NRHP eligible since it appears to be redeposited midden. However, LiDAR data suggests this midden material could be associated with an anomaly located to the north. The two Cold War sites, Camera Pad D44 R53...

In February 2007, the 45 Space Wing Cultural Resources Manager ( 45 SW CRM) was conducting research on Land Management Unit 136 (LMU 136) for a future archaeological survey. In the course of that investigation information was uncovered regarding the crash site of a Jupiter missile within the proposed project area. It was decided to conduct an archaeological survey in an attempt to relocate and record the missile crash site due to it being 50 years old and possibly eligible for listing in the...
