On the Cover Pictured on the front cover is one of two Woodland mounds on a site in Williamson County, Tennessee known as The Glass Mounds (40WM3). Its twin mound is 1200 feet away. The site was named after Mr. Fielding Glass, who started building a home nearby in 1849. During this time, Dr. William Clarke found two copper spools in one of the mounds. Then in March of 1879, Edwin Curtiss, on behalf of the Peabody Museum, conducted exploratory work on the site. He noted that the mound was 50 in diameter and 19 feet high, and covered with brush and wild cherry trees. He cut a trench into the mound 35 feet long and 21 feet deep(at which point the natural ground surface was located). Inside this trench was discovered a burial with two further copper spools. A 6 foot long depression was discovered to contain ashes, and artifacts uncovered included five mica sheets, copper pan pipes, a copper axe, galena cube and copper stained shell beads. In the 1950’s, this site was heavily mined for phosphate, completely destroying any remaining artifacts around the site. This picture was taken in 1993. Today, a large development surrounds the two mounds, and they are the only evidence of there ever being a prehistoric occupation
