Amick, Daniel S.  This work provides a model for understanding prehistoric chipped-stone distribution in the central Duck River basin region. Seven lithic assemblages ranging from Middle to Late Archaic periods were analyzed; a regional lithic resource survey was implemented. The analyses suggest that Late Archaic settlement systems were more logically organized and technological systems were less expediently organized than those of Middle Archaic groups.  These differences are viewed as responses to regional environmental and demographic trends.  These trends are documented, and their implications for subsistence, settlement, and social organization are considered.

Bacon, Willard S.  This work presents structural data from sites in the Normandy Reservoir, Coffee County, Tennessee. Structural remains from the Late Archaic, Early Woodland, and Middle Woodland periods are reported. A date of 220 B.C. plus 185 years was obtained for an unusual assemblage of artifacts associated with Structure 6 on 40Cf58. The date and the artifacts confirm Faulkner's (1977) tentative definition of the Early Middle Woodland Neel phase.

Bowen, William R.  Recent archaeological research of non-shell midden Late Archaic sites in the upper Duck River Valley has raised questions concerning the validity and widespread applicability of certain previously constructed settlement/subsistence models for the Late Archaic in the Middle South. In this paper, the Late Archaic Ledbetter phase in the upper Duck River valley is defined, the data are used to evaluate other subsistence/settlement models, and a new subsistence/settlement model applicable to the Late Archaic Ledbetter phase of the Upper Duck Valley is proposed.

Crites, Gary D. "Investigations into Early Plant Domesticates and Food Production in Middle Tennessee:  A Status Report."  Continuing archaeological studies in Middle Tennessee are producing important new data. Cucurbita remains from circa 7,000-4,000 year old contexts are among the earliest known north of Mexico.  Sumpweed (Iva annua) has been recovered, dating back to the third millennium B.C. context, and domesticated sumpweed and sunflower have been recovered from human fecal specimens.  Domesticated Chenopodium has been recovered from circa 625 B.C. temporal context in the Duck River Valley.  The earliest known occurrence of maygrass has been pushed back approximately 2,300 years, and a previously unidentified morphotype of knotweed (Polygonum) has been identified in an Early Mississippian sample from the region.

Developmental parallels among the three areas are then noted.

Robison, Neil D.  An Analysis and Interpretation of the Faunal Remains from Eight Late Middle Woodland Owl Hollow Phase Sites in Coffee, Franklin and Bedford Counties.  The dissertation examines the findings at archaeological sites in Coffee, Franklin, and Bedford Counties, Tennessee.  The Owl Hollow faunal patterns were analyzed.  It was noted that, from the findings, mammals were hypothesized to be the principal meat resources. Birds and other animals would have been dietary supplements.  A bone industry was also found at several of the sites.

Smith, Mark A.  Material from two controlled surface collections made in 1978 and 1980 and methods for obtaining the material are reported. The 1978 collection made in 50 meter squares is compared to results of the 1980 collection using 10 meter squares.  The smaller grid allowed (1) better definition of site boundaries and (2) the possibility of defining activity areas and separate components within the site.  An Early Archaic Kirk component(s) has been recognized as well as at least one later Archaic component.  Hypotheses about site function and activities as means for evaluating them are presented, as well as future plans for the site.

Maps, documents, and previous research are examined.  In particular, an opening in the back wall and a long ditch parallel to it are examined as possible prehistoric features deserving further research and possible excavation. New maps and documents, apparently the earliest in each category, are introduced in the literature concerning the Old Stone Fort.
