The purpose of this practice is to avoid redundant and confusing collection names commonly found with archaeological investigations. Therefore, this collection is referred to as Cemochechobee Associated Documentation 1960-2005. This name is consistent throughout the finding aid, the file folders, and the box labels. The extent of this collection is four (4) linear feet. Several observations...
