    United States l Department of Agriculture Forest esources Forest Service Southern Forest Arkansas Experiment Station New Orleans, Louisiana Roy C. Beltz, Daniel F. Bertelson, Joanne L. Faulkner, and Dennis M. May Resource Bulletin SO-169 February 1992 SUMMARY The 1988 Forest Survey of Arkansas revealed new trends in forest resources. After decades of decline, forest area increased 3 percent. Pine plantation acreage increased substantially while acreage in natural pine stands decreased. Softwood inventory was down 5 percent, with growth also declining. Loblolly pine volume exceeded that of shortleaf pine for the first time in Arkansas his- tory. The outlook for hardwood resources is positive. Inventory and growth have increased, and loss of bottomland hardwood acreage appeared to be at a standstill.

In particular, we gratefully acknowledge the support and leadership of Martha Miller, Arkansas’s state historic preservation officer (SHPO).

  • 1 Cost Efficient Management Tools for Assessing Cultural Resources
    Cost Efficient Management Tools for Assessing Cultural Resources Project US/DOT/NRTSC-03.08 By George Sabo III, Lela Donat, Crystal Masterson, and John Samuelsen With Contributions By Molly Kerr, Roula Khawam, and Leslie Walker Arkansas Archeological Survey Description of problem The Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) as well as other state and federal agencies are required to identify and evaluate cultural resources that will be impacted by various kinds of projects addressed under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Cultural resources include prehistoric and historic archeological sites as well as extant historic properties. Arkansas agencies must determine if such properties exist in their project right-of-way and consult with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) in the Department of Arkansas Heritage (DAH) about the significance of those properties. By law, the SHPO consults with the Arkansas Archeological Survey (AAS) concerning archeological sites. The AAS maintains information on archeological sites, and projects conducted to locate and investigate sites, in the AMASDA (Automated Management of Archeological Site Data in Arkansas) computerized database system. The AMASDA system contains information on more than 40,000 prehistoric and historic sites and more than 5,100 archeological projects. The AMASDA system presently consists of two Oracle databases 1 (Site Files and Projects), linked to a statewide Geographic Information System (GIS) that provides environmental context for archeological sites and project areas. These applications run on a Sun Enterprise 450 server. At present, AHTD personnel can search only the Site Files database via FTP (there is no way at present to search the databases remotely via the World Wide Web), and information retrieved from those searches cannot be imported directly into other software applications (for example, other databases, spreadsheets, GIS applications, etc.).
