The Red River Chapter is the southwestern portion of the Arkansas Archeological Society<\/a>. We meet during the academic year at Southern Arkansas University<\/a>, in Magnolia. Our monthly meetings feature speakers from around the region involved in archeological research. We also, in collaboration with the Arkansas Archeological Survey<\/a>, host fieldwork opportunities and laboratory days that let people from the community participate in the archeological research process. The statewide Society has an annual Training Program that offers focused courses on different topics in archeology, and an annual conference that features the results of local research. All are welcome to join us to learn and get engaged in researching and preserving Arkansas’s unique and precious heritage!<\/p>\n The Arkansas Archeological Survey is developing a number of research opportunities. Check their Facebook page<\/a> to get more information on them as they become available.<\/p>\n Our meetings occur every second Tuesday of the month during the academic year.
