Assessment of Potential Archaeological Collections Facility Sites at Edwards Air Force Base

In 1994, collections buildings at Edwards Air Force Base were evaluated for problems, standard of care and maintenance and management of artifacts and associated documentation; recommendations for resolving the problem; and a cost estimate for the recommended new building. Efforts to resolve the problem posed by the current facility include the evaluation of building 16 as a replacement facility and an evaluation of six sites for the potential construction of a new building. We recommend the construction of a new archaeological collections facility at Edwards Air Force Base. Of the six sites inspected, Site 4 is most appropriate for use as an archaeological collections facility.
