The prehistory of Native Americans in Arkansas is the time before written records were kept about how they lived. Their history began when Hernando de Soto's army and record keepers arrived here in 1541. Archaeologists learn about Native Americans by studying the ordinary and extraordinary things they left behind. This exhibit illustrates how scientists organize archeological evidence of past lifeways. The primary exhibit in this section is Es Pah Yoon Shoo We, Desoto in Arkansas.
