Archeological sites are fragile, nonrenewable resources.
Such destruction is like tearing a page from a history book. If this history is not recorded before these land changes occur, we lose the past. Knowledgeable citizens who can recognize the dangers threatening sites and who know where to go for help provide the best protection for archeological sites. We cannot save every prehistoric site or every historic building, but in order to make intelligent decisions about what should be saved, we must know something about as many sites as possible. One way to learn is through the Arkansas Archeological Society.
