This final report presents an overview of archaeological, historical, and ethnographic information relating to American Indian cultural affiliation with Buffalo National River, Arkansas. The primary purpose of this overview is to provide the National Park Service with a set of basic criteria that will aid in future consultation for cultural resources and in the development of ethnographic research, interpretation, program objectives, and park management decisions. The main focus of the research is on the record of American Indian habitation and use of the area comprised by Buffalo National River. A rich archaeological record of human occupation spanning 10,000 years has been unearthed over the past century in the general study region, which centers around the Ozark Mountains in the north-central portion of Arkansas, and also extends beyond the state to incorporate the cultural history of the central Mississippi Valley, the north bank of the Arkansas River, and the Ozark uplands of southern Missouri and Western Oklahoma.
