Newly reissued after many years out-of-print, Excavations at the Mineral Springs Site by Paul F. Bohannon provides basic description and analysis of fieldwork carried out in 1962 under the Inter-Agency Archeological Salvage Program as part of the Millwood Reservoir project. This highly complex site contained a preceramic component, followed by a long Caddoan occupation, with two flat-topped platform mounds, a conical mound, a ridge-topped mound, and at least six low dome-shaped mounds, plus cemetery areas and structural remains. Bohannon investigated only Mounds 6 and 8, but he incorporated information from Mark R. Harrington's 1917 explorations of the site, and discoveries by subsequent archeologists, into his report. At its peak, the Mineral Springs site was a major Caddoan ceremonial center related to Haley phase settlements in the Great Bend of Red River.

A small brick church built in the early 1840s by Cumberland Presbyterian settlers who formed the community of Mount Comfort, Arkansas, was later altered when Miss Ann James had a small wood-framed room added to the north side as a “music room” for her Mount Comfort Female Seminary.

Archeological excavations at the Mount Comfort Church site during Arkansas Archeology Week in 1991, 1992, and 1993 revealed the brick foundation of a 33 foot by 33 foot square building. Analysis of archeological features and thousands of artifacts assigned to the Built Environment Contextual Group, including nail and windowpane glass distributions, plus comparisons with other small churches of the period, indicate a symmetrical plan with an east-facing front door and portico. Remains of the wood-frame addition were clearly defined, with indications that the north wall of the original brick building may have been altered to include a door leading into the addition. Recovered artifacts and archival research document the building’s use as a church, a school, and a community center, and as a military camp and hospital during the Civil War. At least part of the building was destroyed by fire, with evidence of extensive salvage of brick and other reusable materials.

This volume sets new standards of reporting for historic cemeteries. The authors present detailed descriptions of burials, mortuary hardware, and personal items from two late nineteenth century cemeteries—Becky Wright and Eddy—excavated in 2001 prior to inundation caused by expansion of Lake Fort Smith in Crawford County, Arkansas. Variability within and between the two cemeteries is explored from a socioeconomic perspective. The cost of each individual burial is calculated, revealing a number of striking contrasts between the two cemeteries. Results of geophysical surveys and bioarcheological analysis are integrated. Two Historic Cemeteries should prove of value to historical archeologists and all those concerned with historic cemetery preservation.

Arkansas possesses one of the richest concentrations of rock art in eastern North America, with human, animal, geometric, and abstract motifs rendered as carved and pecked petroglyphs, painted pictographs, or combination forms on the walls and ceilings of caves, rock shelters, cliff faces, and free-standing boulders. This volume is the ﬁrst attempt to present an up-to-date overview of archeological knowledge about this important Arkansas cultural resource, with chapters on style and typology dating and archeological context, cultural landscape, and other topics. The book is designed to be accessible to general readers, yet useful for professional and student archeologists seeking a glimpse of the worldview of Arkansas’ former inhabitants as it was expressed through this enduring and fascinating art form.

CRM ON CRM: One Person’s Perspective on the Birth and Early Development of Cultural Resource Management
by Charles R. McGimsey III

Charles R. McGimsey offers his views on CRM and no other single person could be more suited to the task. The volume is a compilation of McGimsey’s journals, papers, letters, articles, booklets, and book chapters spanning 30 years—years that encompassed a revolution in the way archeology is done in America. A pioneer ﬁgure in public archeology and shepherd of the Moss-Bennett bill, McGimsey provides new annotations, abstracts, and section introductions plus a new essay on the future of CRM. Historians of archeology and anyone who is interested in the preservation of archeological and other cultural resources will ﬁnd CRM on CRM a useful, perhaps indispensable, account of this important era of the discipline’s history.

CERAMIC VARIABILITY WITHIN THE PARKIN PHASE: A Whole Vessel Metric Analysis From Northeast Arkansas
by Teresa Lynn Brown

Prehistoric ceramic mortuary vessels embody the ideological, artistic, and spiritual beliefs of a long-forgotten culture. Yet systematic studies of these vessels, including metric analysis, have rarely been undertaken in the southeastern United States. This study explores intersite and intrasite ceramic variation using metric data collected from whole vessels excavated at four Late Mississippi period Parkin-phase sites: Vernon Paul (3CS25), Hazel (3PO6), Neeley’s Ferry (3CS24), and Barton Ranch (3CT18).

MISSISSIPPIAN TRANSITIONS AT JOHN’S LAKE: Data Recovery
Excavations of Three Buried Sites in Northeast Arkansas
by C. Andrew Buchner, Eric S. Albertson, Neal H. Lopinot, Larissa A. Thomas, Emanuel Breitburg, and Jerome V. Ward.
The three Mississippi County sites were buried by a combination of 1812 New Madrid earthquake sand and 1915 ditch spoil that together sealed intact Mississippi period cultural deposits. The sites were located on the exterior of a ca. 3000 B.P. cut-off of the Left Hand Chute of the Little River formerly known as “John’s Lake.” The Kochtitzky Ditch site (3MS599) produced abundant data regarding Middle Mississippian domestic organization, ceramic and lithic technology, subsistence, and mortuary practices. Excavations at the Perry Dixon (3MS600) and the John’s Lake (3MS601) sites produced more limited data as the investigations were restricted to the project corridor, but they represent transitional Early Mississippian to early Middle Mississippian occupations.

GHOST BOATS ON THE MISSISSIPPI: Discovering Our Working Past
edited by Leslie C. Stewart-Abernathy, with contributions by Hester A. Davis, Mary Ann Goodman, Charles L. Pearson, Allen R. Saltus, Jr., and Leslie C. Stewart-Abernathy
Record low water in 1988 exposed a complex of watercraft remains, dating to the late 1800s and early 1900s, on the bottom of the Mississippi River at West Memphis, Arkansas. The State of Arkansas and the Arkansas Archeological Survey responded with a two-month data recovery effort, amidst national media attention. The project exploited dry-land field conditions to document evidence of several vessels dating from the time when river transport technology was beginning the transition from wooden-hulled, steam-powered vessels to steel and diesel power. The site contained remains of two model barges, a coal flat, a stern-wheel steamboat, a john boat, and fragments of other vessels. Chapters and illustrations in this report cover project history, finds, construction and heritage of the watercraft encountered, the application of the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987 within months of its signing, the crucial role of the largely volunteer crew, and the project's larger context within a regional framework of archeological resource management in the Lower Mississippi River.

A MORTUARY ANALYSIS OF THE VERNON PAUL SITE (3CS25)
Sociopolitical Organization at a Late Mississippian Site in Cross County, Arkansas
by Thomas Nelson Gannon
Two mounds at the Vernon Paul site, a Parkin phase Mississippian site in Cross County, Arkansas, are the subject of mortuary analysis using the field notes and burial cards of the University of Arkansas Museum's excavations there in the 1930s to test the hypothesis that the site exhibited chiefdom-like behavior. Based on this analysis, there is minimal evidence of social ranking in the burial population.

Upper Nodena is the type-site for the Late Mississippian Nodena phase, which is generally considered to have had a complex chiefdom-like sociopolitical organization. This study examines the mortuary data collected by the University of Arkansas and the Alabama Museum of Natural History in the 1930s to see what it can reveal about Nodena phase social and political organization. The results indicate some degree of social differentiation, expressed in burial location (mound vs. nonmound), but there is no strong evidence for a multitiered political hierarchy.

TOLTEC MOUNDS AND PLUM BAYOU CULTURE: MOUND D EXCAVATIONS
by Martha Ann Rolingson with contributions by Gayle J. Fritz, Rob Hoffman, Teresa L. Hoffman, Gina Powell

Excavations of Mound D serve as a springboard for updating over 20 years of research at the Toltec Mound site, the largest known site of the Plum Bayou culture, which extended up the Arkansas River and White River floodplains and interacted with Fourche Maline-early Caddoan cultures to the southwest. Mound D, the fourth largest of 18 mounds, began as a large, low platform that was enlarged at least once and was used during the Steele Bend phase. All of the evidence so far indicates a simple chiefdom and a small resident population with power to mobilize the surrounding people to build large earthworks.

** SURVEYORS OF THE ANCIENT MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
by P. Clay Sherrod and Martha Ann Rolingson
The reconstruction of the intellectual life of an extinct society [at Toltec] is so important and yet so difficult that any considered and well-reasoned attempt of the task deserves the warmest applause. Surveyors clearly falls into this meritorious category by its balance and almost painfully cautious presentation of the hypothesis that the placement of mounds at many sites in the Lower Mississippi Valley, in the Caddoan area, and at Cahokia reflects solar alignments and other mensurational concerns.

PRE-CADDOAN CULTURES IN THE TRANS-MISSISSIPPI SOUTH: A Beginning Sequence
by Frank F. Schambach
After years of circulating in photocopies, this 1970 Harvard dissertation is now available intact in a new format and a update by the author. This volume remains the definitive work on Archaic and Fourche Maline cultures in the Trans-Mississippi South. Two sites excavated by WPA archeologists in 1939 were used to describe the Archaic and Fourche Maline cultures in the biogeographical area that reaches into Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Artifact assemblages help to define the Tom's Brook, Crystal Mountain, White Oak, Dorcheat, Lost Bayou, Oak Grove, and Dutchman's Garden phases. Schambach's distinctive and lively writing style makes this seminal research a pleasure to read.

CADDOAN SALTMAKERS IN THE OUACHITA VALLEY: The Hardman Site
by Ann M. Early
Nearly 1,000 features were uncovered at this site: postmold outlines of structures, an encircling compound fence and other facilities, pits, hearths, and human burials. Occupants of the site evaporated salt from Saline Bayou water, grew maize and other crops, and used a wide array of wild resources, including large amounts of pine timber from the neighboring uplands. Skeletal remains show evidence of a previously unknown disease that may be related to saltmaking, but also show that the Hardman inhabitants had better nutrition and general health than other nearby protohistoric populations.

PATHS OF OUR CHILDREN: Historic Indians of Arkansas
by George Sabo III
"Paths of Our Children" bookcover

When French explorers entered the central Mississippi Valley late in the seventeenth century, they encountered Indians who called themselves the O-gah-pah, or Downstream People. The native guides who led the Frenchmen, however, used the term "Arkansas" in reference to these Indians. The contemporary descendants of seventeenth century Arkansas Indians are known as Quapaws. Other Indians living in the region that would one day become the state of Arkansas include the Caddos, Tunicas, Koroas, and Osages. In the eighteenth century these tribes were joined by Cherokees and others who were being displaced from their eastern homelands to the west side of the Mississippi River. Most of the tribes in Arkansas at the turn of the nineteenth century were soon removed to Indian Territory (now Oklahoma).

Crossroads of the Past depicts the prehistory of Arkansas, from the time of the arrival of a few families of adventurous hunters near the end of the Ice Age to the portentous day of June 18, 1541, when Hernando De Soto's invading army crossed the Mississippi River near Memphis. This is a story of how these first Arkansas residents lived, worked, played: how they gathered and planted and cooked plants, hunted and fished, and built shelters and homes and towns.

** ARKANSAS BEFORE THE AMERICANS
edited by Hester A. Davis
In the summer of 1686, probably in the month of July, not four years after William Penn set foot on the so-called New World to found Philadelphia, Henri de Tonty established half a dozen men on the Arkansas River to secure the trade of the Quapaw Indians. This settlement, which in time acquired the name of Arkansas Post, was the first European outpost in what would become Jefferson's Louisiana. All of these fine contributions have greatly advanced our understanding of [this period] and will no doubt stimulate further research. Introduction
