Cultural Resources Magnetometer Survey Brevard County, Canaveral Harbor, Florida

Author(s): Oceanprobe, Inc

Year: 1988

Summary

A cultural resources investigation was conducted to investigate a potential borrow area offshore Cape Canaveral in the Atlantic Ocean. Field work was conducted in February 1988, utilizing a proton precession magnetometer, precision echosounder and digitizer, microwave positioning system with three lines of position, computerized data acquisition and track guidance system, all deployed from a specialized nonmetallic shallow draft survey vessel. A total of 132 magnetic anomalies were detected during the survey, and one particular group of anomalies required the field crew to conduct a finer grid search for a higher degree of definition. Historical archival research from Colonial period to present was conducted utilizing a number of sources, including Florida State archives.
