This manuscript brings together nine essays on the diversity of historical archaeological research in Arkansas. The essays range from Civil War sites to an Ozark Mountain blacksmith shop to the nineteenth-century Jewish community. The editors note that this project is meant to display the research being conducted in what they consider to be a forgotten southern state in addition to the type of archaeological research that can be accomplished with the full backing of various state institutions.
