Our Arkansas Archeology Month program will be James A. Rees, Jr., retired Arkansas educator and immediate past Vice-President of the state-wide Arkansas Archeological Society. Mr. Rees is a returning speaker who gave us an excellent talk on the Davidson Methodist Camp Meeting ground in Clark County and what it might tell us about ancient ceremonial spaces in 2009 and talked to us about one of the earliest Native-American flutes found in the Ozarks in 2011. This visit Mr. Rees will tackle our season theme–iconography. Rees will talk about “Drums Along the Arkansas” which explores possible depictions of membrane drums in the engraved shell art at the famous Spiro Mounds site in eastern Oklahoma near Fort Smith.
Come hear about how ancient Arkansans made music—Tuesday, March 11th, 7:00pm in the Magnolia Room on the second floor of the Reynolds Center on the campus of Southern Arkansas University.
