A Cultural Resources Assessment of the Little Midden Site (8BR1933) Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Brevard County, Florida

Author(s): Thomas Penders; Samantha Pietruszewski

Year: 2011

Summary

The results of the investigation found that at least half of the Little Midden Site (BR1933) had been mined for fill to be used at the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse and to stabilize unpaved roads during the 1950s. In spite of this portions of the site were still intact as evident by the presence of features and dense midden. The site does have the potential to yield additional information and as such is NRHP eligible under Criteria D. In addition human remains were found at the site and were reburied on site at the completion of the investigation. Little Midden appears to have been a prehistoric seasonal fishing camp located on the beach and dates to Late Malabar I. It will remain protected with no further actions at the site.
