JONESBORO — George Sabo III, a University of Arkansas at Fayetteville anthropology professor, will discuss his research of ancient civilizations in the central Arkansas River valley during a lecture next Thursday at Arkansas State University.
The free lecture will be held at 7 p.m. in Room 157 the ASU Museum in Jonesboro.
Sabo, the UA station archeologist, researched the Carden Bottoms in the central Arkansas River valley to explore how ancient Indian communities were fragmented by interactions with Spanish explorers 500 years ago.
Sabo said the Southeastern Indians regrouped and formed new communities. Sabo studied how the ancestors of the Caddo, Quapaw, Osage and Tunica Indians used art and ritual to create their communities during the Protohistoric Dark Age between 1500 and 1700.
