There was a report on work done at the Memphis Navy Yard (Civil War period), but I think the project was primarily monitoring.  I can't find our office copy of the report, and I can't remember exactly what's in it (some help I am).  The reference is:

Council, Bruce R.
  1985  Historic Documentation and Site Reconnaissance of the Memphis Navy Yard Archaeological Site,  Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee. University of Tennessee at Chattanooga for Tennessee Department of Transportation.
