Today I received a communication from Rick A. Ferrer, Senior Planner, Miami-Dade County, Department of Planning and Zoning, Office of Historic & Archaeological Resources; and he informed me of (amongst other things) the following:
The mound was designated (protected) by Miami-Dade County in 1983 under the name 'El Portal Burial Mound & Archaeological Site.'
Hence, I recommend this site be herein renamed El Portal Burial Mound & Archaeological Site. Mr. Ferrer also informed me a site report is on file and additional information exists; and he is forwarding my request for information to Miami-Dade County archaeologist Jeff Ransom, who will directly assist me.
