Description
Summary:The foreword describes how the research presented in the book is the result of a long-term joint research program by the Arkansas Archeological Survey at the University of Arkansas, the Ouachita National Forest, the Arkansas Archeological Society, and other groups. Chapter 2, “How Do You Know It's an Artifact?” introduces the reader to basic archaeological concepts (e.g., artifact, feature, site), types of archaeological material culture (stone, bone, shell), and an overview of how archaeological data are collected. [...]the inclusion of Native American (here, Caddo) perspectives on and contributions to archaeology is encouraging.
