Parkin Archeological State Park

"The Parkin Site is a 17-acre Native American village located on the St. Francis River in Arkansas. It was occupied as early as A.D. 1000 until at least 1550, and is the best-preserved village site of this time period in the region. The Parkin site is also important because many scholars believe it to be the Native American village of Casqui, visited by Hernando de Soto's expedition in the summer of 1541. The park was established in 1967 with funding from the state legislature and help from the Archeological Conservancy."

Turtle Mountain online exhibit

"How strange it was that the settlers, my own people on both sides, too, could not see what was there all over the prairie. They’d used the stones to build dams and for foundations for their buildings, they’d picked them so they could farm - “The circles always went first,” Peter said, “because they were so easy to see.” - and yet, even knowing what they were doing, they didn’t see. Beyond seeing, there was recognizing. I couldn’t find a better word for what I meant; that a lot of people had lived here for a very long time, that they were not “picking rock” so they could farm, that they were dismantling the remains of a civilization. Every stone freighted with tears, with the weight of grief, they should have been too heavy to lift." Interpretation of the work of John Eddy in southwestern Manitoba.

"Until about five years after I got my Master's degree, I couldn't tell people I was an archaeologist; well, not with a straight face. The reason I was shy about admitting my profession was the same reason I was drawn to the field: its eclecticism. To be a good archaeologist, you need to understand the rudiments of biology, chemistry, agronomy, politics, ethnology, physics - indeed, you need to know a little bit about everything that people do or have ever done. A great archaeologist can put all the pieces together into a coherent story - because, finally, that's we are. Story tellers."

"The New World Figurine Project is the brainchild of Terry Stocker, who in the mid-1980s began to collect articles - new and classic - on ceramic figurines of North, Central and South America. Stocker's idea was to publish a comparative cross-section of articles throughout the New World; and he found a ready group of specialists to assist him. The first volume was published in 1991, and it contained articles on figurines from the United States, Mexico, El Salvador, Bolivia, and Peru. This volume, new this year, contains a dozen papers, including three classics and nine new articles."
