Native American Prehistory
The Paleo-Indians were among the first natives here in Arkansas
they date back to sometime between 11,630-9,500 B.C. They had great
organization between several groups of people spread out all over the
state. Groups of about a dozen members but altogether there were around
one hundred to one hundred and fifty for the total population. Their
organization came from the need of exotic resources, kinships, hunting
parties. They made spears for hunting out of materials that were hard to
find so they passed these between tribes in exchange for other resources.
The weapons they used were complex and the spears had a very distinct
shape unique to their era. The Paleo-Indians were very spiritual people
especially when it came to hunting they prepared rituals to show respect to
an animalsd soul when the animal was killed. Having different tribes so to
speak they could marry to others forming strong bonds between tribes. Not
only could they form close bonds for resources, kinships, and hunting parties
they relied on the exchange of information from other tribes to live. These
people were nomads of sorts in the sense that they never had permanent
dwellings mostly lean-tod s and make shift huts made with several differenttypes of wood and grasses. The climates the endured was one of the
major factors in how they hunted for example they killed large animals like
mammoths for fur and meat they used bones as well for make shift needles
to make warm clothing which was a survival skill.
During the Archaeic Era which was between 9,500 and 650 B.C. there was
much change in the technologies of these people. These people started to
develop permanent dwellings and the way the processed food as the climate
also changed to a much warmer environment. They hunted mostly small gameand began to fish as the water began to maintain marine life and they
fashioned hooks from bones of the game they killed. With the ever change
climate they were able to grow more plants not only food but made clothes
from the fibers of these plants also. In light of these new ways of life
they experienced a big population boom. This population boom led to a

famous location called poverty point and from here the cultural diversity
boomed. There was an assortment of different types of artworks that
highlighted the relationships and spiritual beliefs of different communities.
This led to the cultural diversities in the Woodland Era.
The Woodland Era dated from 650 B.C. to 950 A.D. The woodland era was
a more domesticated area they used containers and hunted by bow and
arrow. Gardening led to new plow tools and a variety of simple grains used
to cook into porridges and stews. Farming also influenced where these
people settled to make use of fertile soil and animal population. As the
population grew it lead to social hierarchy. During this time period the
spiritual aspects of this culture evolved into specialized rituals for their
dead mainly leaders or the high status members of the community. The
leaders of the community would be buried in big earthen mounds followed by
showers of gifts like artifacts, jewelry, and artworks. All of these
progressions over time led up to the late prehistoric era the Mississippian.
The Mississippian Area dated A.D. 950-1541 was a melting pot of skills and
fruition of so many decades. Written documentation, complex well built
garden tools, social hierarchy, and spirituality were some of the things that
have come from the earliest settlers finely tuned. At this point pottery has
had many functions as well as many forms of art and jewelry. Leaders and
high status members of these communities are no longer buried in mounds but
in sanctuaries and the dead buried under ground. By now all the regions of
Arkansas have very different regions and each have their own way of life
and culture.
