    ARCHE0L0G1CAL ASSESSMENT of the BUFFALO NATIONAL RIVER by Daniel Wolfman Arkansas Archeological Survey Research Report No. 18 ARCHEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE BUFFALO NATIONAL RIVER by Daniel WoIfman Arkansas Archeological Survey Research Report No. 18 MAY 1979 Report submitted to the National Park Service, Southwest Region by the Arkansas Archeological Survey under Contract No. CX 700030218 July, 1974 ABSTRACT The establishment of the Buffalo National River along one of the few remaining large, free-flowing streams in the state of Arkansas necessitates a comprehensive study of the archeology of the park area. This study, funded by the National Park Service, is the first step in the long process of preserving the park's archeological heritage, a significant portion of which is being lost due to surface collecting and digging by "treasure hunters" at the archeological sites. This report includes a review of published references relevant to the archeology of the Buffalo National River and a summary of reports prepared by amateur and professional archeologists on the 254 known sites within the boundaries of the Buffalo National River on file with the Arkansas Archeological Survey. Past archeological research is synthesized and recommendations are made including some ideas about how future archeological investigations may be approached to provide meaningful interpretations. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface and Acknowledgements 1 PART I.

Wood, Jr. Superintendent, Arkansas Post National Memorial 2 Arkansas Post National Memorial Executive Summary In 1686, Henri de Tonti established a trading post known as “Poste de Arkansea” at the Quapaw Indian village of Osotouy. It was the first semi-permanent French settlement in the lower Mississippi River Valley. From its establishment through the Civil War, the Post has been strategically important for Quapaw Indians, as well as French, Spanish, American, and Confederate militaries. Located at the northern edge of t he Gulf coastal plain, Arkansas Post’s ecosystem ranges from prairie grasses and bottomland hardwood forests to wetland marshes near the bayous and river. The Memorial Unit consists of 389 acres and includes the park’s visitor center and a 2.5-mile trail system. A paved trail leads visitors through the park’s natural and cultural resources: the historic townsite, the cistern, Post Bend, the Confederate trenches, the Arkansas River overlook, and around Park Lake. An unpaved nature trail leads visitors along the shoreline of Post Bayou and over Alligator Slough. The Osotouy Unit includes 360 acres about five miles by air and 30 miles by paved roads from the Memorial Unit. It protects the Menard Hodges Archeological Site, a Quapaw burial ground, where Quapaw remains were recently re-interred. It is located on the southeastern edge of an elevated prairie ecosystem.

  • The Political Styles of Bumpers and Pryor: Models of Representation for Arkansas
    The Political Styles of Bumpers and Pryor: Models of Representation for Arkansas Art English University of Arkansas at Little Rock This article examines the political styles of former U.S. Senators Dale Bumpers and David Pryor, both from Arkansas. It argues that both Pryor and Bumpers exhibited a representational style different from those of their regional colleagues and that this difference was in large part a product of the particular political culture of Arkansas. It also argues that the representational style of Bumpers and Pryor, intertwined with Arkansas’s political culture, has subsequently had a strong influence on the political and representational styles exhibited by both of Arkansas’s current United States Senators and that this Bumpers\Pryor model is likely to continue to influence the presentational and representational style of future members of the Arkansas congressional delegation. Introduction This article addresses the concept of senatorial political and representational style by focusing on two of Arkansas’s most renowned United States Senators: Dale Bumpers and David Pryor. Political style is particularly difficult to conceptualize and operationally apply because each political actor has unique political abilities and skills (English, 1993, 1997). Despite this intrinsic difficulty, congressional scholars have found that attention to stylistic differences across members provides rich insight into the institutional and member behaviors of Congress and that theory- building is not impossible (Mayhew; Sinclair; and Fenno, 1978). In addition, scholars have found that members of Congress pay attention to the norms and values of their constituencies’ political cultures in developing their representational styles. In particular, Richard Fenno has written most perceptively on the issues of political and representational styles in his classic work Home StyIe: House Members in Their District.

  • Arkansas Natural Divisions Study Guide 2020 Revision
    A Study Guide for the Six Main Natural Divisions of Arkansas Ozark Mountains Arkansas Valley Ouachita Mountains Coastal Plain Mississippi Alluvial Plain Crowley’s Ridge The study of Arkansas’s natural divisions is multi-disciplinary, combining biology, geology, natural history, and social studies. This guide highlights major components and unique characteristics of each natural division, and it provides resources for further learning. Words in bold type can be found in the Glossary of Terms. This document is used in conjunction with the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission’s educational program “Arkansas Ecoregions.” For more information or to schedule a program, contact Leslie Patrick, [email protected]. ARKANSAS NATURAL HERITAGE COMMISSION 1 A natural division or ecoregion (ecological region) is a geographical area occupied by a distinctive ecosystem. An ecosystem can be defined as an environment made up of interrelated living and non-living components. The six main ecoregions of Arkansas are labeled in black in the map above. These can be further divided into smaller ecoregions, a few of which are labeled in red. Ecoregions are not bound by state boundary lines, and most extend into adjoining states. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has ecoregion maps for all of North America available for viewing and downloading at www.epa.gov/eco-research/ecoregions. ARKANSAS NATURAL HERITAGE COMMISSION 2 Levels III and IV Ecoregions of Arkansas, available at www.epa.gov/ eco-research/ecoregion-download-files-state-region-6#pane-03 ARKANSAS NATURAL HERITAGE COMMISSION 3 Six Major Components of an Ecoregion GEOLOGY: landforms, geologic history, rock type CLIMATE: temperature, precipitation, winds SOIL: type, formation PLANTS: flora, plant communities, vegetative cover ANIMALS: fauna, animal communities PEOPLE: land use, culture, history Relationships Between the Components Every place on the earth has a distinctive geology and climate; these are the two basic components of any ecosystem.
