Home My WebLink AboutMore email from the city historian Fwd Fuller Mounds marker and Bob Gross QR codes etc Re Number Assignment Request for Artesia Post Office Re FL Master Site File TRS S (2)Angela and esteemed city officials, Here's a recent email from me out to several organizations. As you will notice we started talking about the historic marker again. It's kinda like when you start talking about one thing you end up talking about another thing too. Now from your end. Did Mr. Baugher or Cumberland Farms comment on anything recently? I saw he arrived late at the meeting yesterday so I presume he discussed something regarding his project with somebody at the city level. Did he say anything about allowing an archaeological survey before they break ground? I wish he and I could talk like we used to but he has got it in his head that I hate him and wish him bad. Quite the opposite, I respect him as a savvy businessman and realize we just have a different perspective on this issue. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ray Osborne <info@a1aresearch.com> Date: Wed, Oct 22, 2014 at 12:24 PM Subject: Fuller Mounds marker and Bob Gross, QR codes etc, Re: Number Assignment Request for Artesia Post Office, Re: FL Master Site File TRS Search Results To: Alan Brech <aebrech@aol.com> Cc: Michael Boonstra <mboonstra@brev.org> No it is repairable, Alan. We needn't hash out the Fuller mound marker situation as I think I have all the wording now to everyone's liking. I can go ahead and submit it. It's just such a small park for a big marker. I was trying to get my city to spring for a smaller marker with a QR code but they weren't for it and maybe QR codes have fallen out of use now. Are you finding any use of QR codes in use for historical trails? I was introduced to it by a historian from Key West. It seemed novel approach to get people interesting in following historical sites. I am still on the fence on the Fuller Mounds marker. If I presented the application again do you think it would go through? Meaning is there still funding? But I do have a geocache there and it is the Landmarks guide. BTW: I have to forward all this email to the city clerk as it is official city historian business. So be nice. :-) On Wed, Oct 22, 2014 at 11:48 AM, Alan Brech <aebrech@aol.com> wrote: No document was attached to your email. Pedro Menendez de Aviles left mirrors (and other gifts) in the abandoned Ais villages as he marched south from Cape Canaveral to the town of Ais in 1565. Bob Gross is Mr. IRAS and is an unofficial "commissioner/chairman emeritus" so to speak. I did archaeology with ACI (Archaeological Consultants Inc, Sarasota) in 1999 under Joan Demming and Elizabeth Horvath as principal investigators. They were following up on investigations by New South Associates (Georgia). Jim Miller (former head of SHPO) did a report on Merritt Island National Refuge, of which I have a hard copy. As for archeo work done in the 70s and 80's your best bet is Bud Knoderer (deceased). But Bob Gross would be a good source of info. Are you and Bob Gross estranged from each other? Do you need an interlocutor? I'd be glad to help facilitate the flow of info from Gross to Osborne if you guys are at odds with each other. let me know, Alan -----Original Message----- From: Ray Osborne <info@a1aresearch.com> To: Alan Brech <AEBrech@aol.com>; Michael Boonstra <mboonstra@brev.org> Sent: Wed, Oct 22, 2014 11:21 am Subject: Fwd: Number Assignment Request for Artesia Post Office, Re: FL Master Site File TRS Search Results Okay that solves that (see fwd) So I'm still learning. So next step, anybody with BCHC have good communication and relations with IRAS? I'm glad to see Alan is thick skinned, as there seems to be many thin skinned and overly sensitive people in the historical and archaeological community. Not a judgment, just an observation hey? Let's move ahead and get some more good stuff accomplished.Tell me who was doing a lot of archaeology work back in the 1970's and 80's in Cape Canaveral. Promise we won't talk about the metals that may have been transported by the Europeans that may have ended up here. I'm curious about mirrors and geometric shapes. Ais must of been enthralled with the selfies they got with the mirrors, I think I would if I had never seen a mirror before. Imagine discovering your reflection in a glass for the first time.

Those aren’t documents that are sent to the site file or to compliance, though they are often sent out (to people who want to record a site/structure and submit documentation to FMSF). The site number for BR1936 was requested by Nash in 2006, who authored the 2006 report and completed the archaeological site form. It doesn’t seem to have been recorded in the FMSF prior to that date. It is possible that other people had done work there prior to 2006, but if so it wasn’t submitted to the site file. The site file only contains information that has been submitted by archaeologists, consultants, architects, etc. – we are not a comprehensive repository for all archaeology completed in the state or for all reports.

Subject: Fwd: Number Assignment Request for Artesia Post Office, Re: FL Master Site File TRS Search Results Hello, This is the forwarded application process for another site that I applied BR02570 to be put into the Master File. Are the applications not part of the public record requests procedures? Somebody well before Nash came onto the scene must have submitted and application to be put in. Are you saying BR01936 got it's start with Nash and the Carbo Verde project? See attachments. Where are the BR01936 counterparts? I appreciate your time, so, I will CC this and confer with my contacts with BCHC (Brevard County Historical Commission) for their expertise in adding sites to the Master File here in Brevard County. I'm sure they added quite a few already. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bailey, Erin M. <EMBailey@dos.state.fl.us> Date: Tue, Jan 12, 2010 at 1:41 PM Subject: RE: Number Assignment Request for Artesia Post Office, Re: FL Master Site File TRS Search Results To: Ray Osborne <rko153@gmail.com> Hi again, Ray.
