Author(s): Grayall Farr; Glen H. Doran; Jack Rink; Katherine Rodrigues; Richard R. Hendricks; James Dunbar

Year: 2014

Summary

The goals of this project were to develop a more tightly controlled chronology for beach ridge formation, assess the stratigraphic chronology of a small pond on the 'nose of Cape Canaveral, obtain finer resolution of the known chronology of identified archaeological sites, refine depositional processes in some of the known sites, and attempt an environmental reconstruction based on palynological analysis of the sandy cape sediments. The authors analysis concludes that there are no intact sediments of archaeological interest on Cape Canaveral are older than 6,000 years.
