Paleoenvironmental Study, Coastal Risk Modeling, and Archaeological Site Monitoring Plan, Tyndall Air Force Base, Bay County, Florida

Abstract

This report presents the results of a desktop study to identify potential submerged precontact cultural resources near Tyndall Air Force Base, located in Bay County, Florida, based on regional paleoenvironmental and cultural history; risk modeling and analysis to identify cultural sites on the installation that are vulnerable to future climate change impacts; and development of a targeted monitoring plan for at-risk areas of the installation that that contain or are likely to contain important cultural resources. The study was conducted on behalf of the United States Air Force Civil Engineer Center. The evaluation will assist Tyndall Air Force Base in managing the historic properties under its jurisdiction as required by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended.
