An Archaeological Survey of the Proposed X Range Construction Project Area, Avon Park Air Force Range, Highlands County, Florida

This survey of the proposed X Range Construction project area at the Avon Park Air Force Range (AFR) was performed in response to MacDill Air Force Base (AFB) Requisition No. F08602-83-Q2561 with amendments, and Contract No. F08602-83-M2170. The survey area is in Highlands County and consists of approximately 2,400 acres. A twenty-five percent sample of the approximately 1200 acres of surveyable land (not underwater) was undertaken. The proposed target area locations and areas adjacent to the Old Settler’s Road were also surveyed.
The survey was implemented in order to determine the presence or absence of archaeological or historical sites within the sample area and to evaluate any sites located as either potentially eligible or not eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.

本勘测针对埃文帕克空军靶场（Avon Park Air Force Range，AFR）拟建X靶场建设项目区域开展，系响应麦克迪尔空军基地（MacDill Air Force Base，AFB）经修订的F08602-83-Q2561号采购申请，以及F08602-83-M2170号合同要求实施。勘测区域位于海兰兹县，总面积约2400英亩。本次对约1200英亩可勘测陆地（不含水域）开展了25%比例的抽样勘测，同时对拟建靶区位置及老定居者路周边区域一并完成了勘测。

本次勘测的目的在于查明样本区域内考古或历史遗存的存在情况，并对已发现的遗存进行评估，判定其是否具备被提名列入《国家史迹名录》（"National Register of Historic Places"）的资格。
