Arkansas State Archeologist emerita Hester Davis will present “So You Always Wanted to Be an Archeologist,” Wednesday, March 17 at noon at the Shiloh Museum. Her talk will focus on the Arkansas Archeological Society’s training program for amateur archeologists.
In 1967, Hester Davis became Arkansas’s first state archeologist, a position she held for 32 years until her retirement in 1999. She also taught in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Arkansas, creating and teaching a course in Public Archaeology.
The program is part of the Shiloh Museum’s observance of March as Arkansas Archeology Month. The museum is located at the corner of Johnson and Main in downtown Springdale. For more information, call 750-8165.
