A Cultural Resource Assessment Survey of Land Management Unit 5, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Brevard County, Florida

Author(s): Thomas E. Penders

Year: 2012

Summary

In December 2011, the 45th Space Wing Cultural Resources Manager (45 SW CRM) conducted an archaeological and historical Phase I survey of the Land Management Unit 5 (LMU-5) parcel on behalf of the US Air Force. 45 SW CRM identified one previously recorded archaeological site (8BR237) within the project area during the investigation.

45 SW CRM determined that Site 8BR237 is the remains of the historic DeSoto Beach subdivision and a radar pole associated with Project Teepee. Despite its association with a Cold War era radar project, the pole is not a unique feature and the site lacks diagnostic artifacts or research potential. 45 SW CRM determined that 8BR237 is not eligible for listing in the NRHP.
