Archeologist to lecture on highlights from Jones Mill site The Central Mississippi Valley Archeological Society presents a free public lecture by Dr. Mary Beth Trubitt, Arkansas Archeological Survey, Henderson State University Station, on Wednesday, Sept. 10, ASU Museum, Room 182. Dr. Trubitt will provide highlights of the 2008 Arkansas Archeological Society's summer training program at the Jones Mill site in Hot Spring County. This summer's excavations investigated the production and exchange of stone tools. The making of chipped stone tools from Arkansas novaculite was a focus this summer, as with the trading of these tools with people living on the Ouachita River. In addition, excavations at the Jones Mill site yielded information about diet and cooking technology.
