edited by Robert C. Mainfort, Jr. and James M. Davidson
This volume sets new standards of reporting for historic cemeteries. The authors present detailed descriptions of burials, mortuary hardware, and personal items from two late nineteenth century cemeteries—Becky Wright and Eddy—excavated in 2001 prior to inundation caused by expansion of Lake Fort Smith in Crawford County, Arkansas. Variability within and between the two cemeteries is explored from a socioeconomic perspective. The cost of each individual burial is calculated, revealing a number of striking contrasts between the two cemeteries. Results of geophysical surveys and bioarcheological analysis are integrated. Two Historic Cemeteries should prove of value to historical archeologists and all those concerned with historic cemetery preservation.

ROCK ART IN ARKANSAS
by George Sabo III and Deborah Sabo
Arkansas possesses one of the richest concentrations of rock art in eastern North America, with human, animal, geometric, and abstract motifs rendered as carved and pecked petroglyphs, painted pictographs, or combination forms on the walls and ceilings of caves, rock shelters, cliff faces, and free-standing boulders. This volume is the first attempt to present an up-to-date overview of archeological knowledge about this important Arkansas cultural resource, with chapters on style and typology dating and archeological context, cultural landscape, and other topics. The book is designed to be accessible to general readers, yet useful for professional and student archeologists seeking a glimpse of the worldview of Arkansas’ former inhabitants as it was expressed through this enduring and fascinating art form.

CERAMIC VARIABILITY WITHIN THE PARKIN PHASE: A Whole Vessel Metric Analysis From Northeast Arkansas
by Teresa Lynn Brown
Prehistoric ceramic mortuary vessels embody the ideological, artistic, and spiritual beliefs of a long-forgotten culture. Yet systematic studies of these vessels, including metric analysis, have rarely been undertaken in the southeastern United States. This study explores intersite and intrasite ceramic variation using metric data collected from whole vessels excavated at four Late Mississippi period Parkin-phase sites: Vernon Paul (3CS25), Hazel (3PO6), Neeley’s Ferry (3CS24), and Barton Ranch (3CT18).

CRM ON CRM: One Person’s Perspective on the Birth and Early Development of Cultural Resource Management
by Charles R. McGimsey III
Charles R. McGimsey offers his views on CRM and no other single person could be more suited to the task. The volume is a compilation of McGimsey’s journals, papers, letters, articles, booklets, and book chapters spanning 30 years—years that encompassed a revolution in the way archeology is done in America. A pioneer figure in public archeology and shepherd of the Moss-Bennett bill, McGimsey provides new annotations, abstracts, and section introductions plus a new essay on the future of CRM. Historians of archeology and anyone who is interested in the preservation of archeological and other cultural resources will find CRM on CRM a useful, perhaps indispensable, account of this important era of the discipline’s history.
