Summary
This archaeological reconnaissance was undertaken by Florida Technological University personnel at the request of NASA for purposes of determining whether or not prehistoric or historic cultural remains occur in the area of the proposed Solid Rocket Booster Facility site, to be located not far south of the present VAB structure on Merritt Island.
The survey resulted in locating only one historical site marked by remnants of a brick chimney and scattered domestic artifacts. No further evidence of either prehistoric or historical significance was recovered.
