Arkansas Archeological Survey

Cub Scout Day Camp 🥳🥳🥳🥳 So fun!

Really neat, large chunks of cane impressed daub coming out of some of the features that we are excavating. Good thing our trowels are sharp, and we have our excavation tools organized!

UA Little Rock anthropology students (and Dr. Levin) are at Plum Bayou Mounds this week volunteering with the Arkansas Archeological Society and Arkansas Archeological Survey! We are learning lots of interesting things.

We got the opportunity to learn about microstratigraphy this week from Dr. Sarah Sherwood (The University of the South). She took samples in the field and gave a lecture one evening.

We had members of Quapaw Nation come out to help with excavations and to present about Quapaw History at our Open House Day. We love getting to work with so many great people and getting to learn from and spread knowledge to each other and the community in which we are working each year during the Training Program.

The second week of the Training Program in Archeology is starting out strong recording the many features in the plaza excavation! If you aren't signed up to participate, you can still visit Plum Bayou Mounds Archeological State Park and see the excavations if you come out while we are working.

We had a successful first week of excavations, lab work, and classes at Plum Bayou Mounds! Thanks to everyone who came out.

We are working hard in the training program lab

Lots of learning and interesting artifacts happening at the Training Program this week. Come out to our Open House tomorrow from 9am-1pm to see what we've been up to!
