Nancy,
In 2004 the Tennessee Division of Archaeology published A Survey of Sites Related to the American Revolution and War of 1812 in Tennessee , and though it is out of print, you can still find a PDF on our website: http://www.tn.gov/environment/article/archaeology-publications. It is Report of Investigation #16. During this survey we recorded sites that we classified as frontier stations, blockhouses, battlefields, muster grounds, etc.

Back in 1987, I published a grant report called Stockading Up that compiled historical and archaeological information on defensible station sites settled in the Inner Bluegrass Region of Kentucky during the early settlement period. At the time, I knew of no other comprehensive compilation of these sites in Kentucky or in other sites that had similar defensible sites. Since 1987, I've continued to research stations and some years back, I stopped producing copies of Stockading Up for sale because I wanted to release a revised publication that reflected my additional research, new insights and so on. The revisions are underway and I am having to check everything I said in 1987 for accuracy. Although I am aware of site-specific studies that have done, I haven't found any comprehensive compilations similar to what I produced in 1987 for other states in which defensible stations occurred. Is it still a true statement that comprehensive studies of stations have not been completed elsewhere?
