Description

The purpose of this paper is to act as a guide for what digital documentation management is and how it is an important resource for archaeology in Brevard County, Florida. References to a couple repository sites are made, along with the ethics behind using them for information preservation, curation, and development. The Wilson Cemetery on Cape Canaveral is examined, in this paper as a test subject for using the STARS database for archaeological recording and database creation during the Cape Canaveral Archaeological Mitigation Project, Season 2. While stating an argument for why Total Station mapping was used and providing some results of investigations, a conclusion was made for the Wilson Cemetery to be included onto the Nation Register of Historic Places. An overview of information that will be added from the Wilson Cemetery into the Showcase of Text, Archives, Research & Scholarship database by the University of Central Florida for future development, use, and research. What’s next for the database includes growth and management of software and datasets, and the possibility of influencing other institutions to utilize this resource.
