Author(s): Graham J Henderson
Year: 2016
Summary
During June and July of 2015, a historical archaeological field school from Middle Tennessee State University’s Public History Program conducted a survey and assessment of Clover Bottom plantation (40DDV186) in Nashville, Tennessee. This excavation looked to bring forth new material evidence for the experiences of the property’s majority of enslaved and emancipated residents. This paper presents the results of topographic and shovel-test surveys and test excavations as they relate to ongoing documentary, cartographic, and architectural research into Clover Bottom’s history. Finally this paper considers new questions for future research.
