"Arkansas has long been recognized as a state with a rich archaeological heritage. The Toltec Mounds were made famous by the Smithsonian's research at the turn of the century. The Sloan site, dated to 8500 B.C., is the oldest documented burial ground in the New World. The alluvial plain of the Central Mississppi River Valley supported perhaps the greatest prehistoric urban population. And the Parkin site has yielded important information about de Soto's incursion into the continent."--BOOK JACKET. "This festschrift recognizes the contributions made by Dan and Phyllis Morse in researching this varied heritage, from the inception of Arkansas Archeological Survey in 1967 to their retirement in 1997."--BOOK JACKET. "This volume will, of course, be of great interest to professional archaeologists and anthropologists, but the essays are also accessible to students, amateur archaeologists, historians, and enthusiastic general readers."--BOOK JACKET.
