"The Fernvale site (40WM51) was excavated in 1985 prior to a bridge replacement spanning the South Harpeth River in northwestern Williamson County, Tennessee. Excavations resulted in the discovery of prehistoric features including 33 human burials, two dog burials, and three structure footprints. Temporally sensitive artifacts recovered from the site spanned the Paleoindian through Mississippian periods, with major deposits originating in the Late to Terminal Archaic. Beginning in September of 2007, a collaborative project between the Tennessee Division of Archaeology and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Middle Tennessee State University sought to reexamine the Fernvale site with the goal of completing any outstanding analysis and producing a site report. The resulting monograph is an edited work that presents specialized analysis by multiple contributors, including: Andrea Shea Bishop, C. Brady Davis, Aaron Deter-Wolf, Lacey S. Flemming, Andrew Gillreath-Brown, Shannon C. Hodge, Teresa Ingalls, Tanya M. Peres, Benjamin A. Steere, and Jesse W. Tune." - Written by Aaron Deter-Wolf
