Our first program of 2013 will be given by our own AAS-SAU Research Assistant Carl Carlson-Drexler.\u00a0 Carl will give us an update about his work at Dooley\u2019s Ferry\u2014a multicomponent site (Caddo and historic, 1820s to 1930s) in southern Hempstead County.<\/p>\n

On and off since 2008 (long before he came to AAS-SAU as our Research Assistant), Carl has been working at the site of Dooley\u2019s Ferry (3HE14) on the Red River.\u00a0 This ferry was an important crossing on the Red from the 1820s through the 1930s and was an important feature of the militarized landscape of the Trans-Mississippi Theater of the Civil War.<\/p>\n

Most recently Carl directed members of the Kadohadacho Chapter of the AAS in excavations at the site\u2014first during the 2012 \u201cSpring Break Dig\u201d last March, and, most recently, during a series of four \u201clong-weekend\u201d excavations last fall.\u00a0 Carl\u2019s work has been attempting to \u201creconstruct\u201d what the historic landscape of this now-vanished town looked like.\u00a0 Archeological excavations here offer a unique opportunity to study the flow of goods and people engaged in local, regional, and global markets into and out of what was a remote corner of the South in a time of great disruption to the patterns of everyday antebellum life.<\/p>\n

Come here about important archeological excavations right here in southwest Arkansas\u2014Tuesday, February 12, 7:00pm in the Magnolia Room on the second floor of the Reynolds Center on the campus of Southern Arkansas University.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
