  Silas,
 
There are two references which you may be interested in, both by Amy Young, and
both in 1994. If you cannot get a hold of either contact Barbara at Poplar
Forest, both articles are there. I used them for a chapter in a report on nails
from one of the slave sites we excavated.  I would send them to you but I can't
seem to find my copies.
 
Amy L. Young "Nailing Down the Pattern" Tennessee Anthropologist 19 (1) 1-21.
    1994
 
Amy L. Young "Spatial Patterning on a 19th C. Appalachain Houselot: Evidence
from Nail Analysis." Southeastern Archeology 13 (1) Summer 1994.
 
Good luck
