This report describes archaeological test and data recovery excavations at three prehistoric sites in Mississippi and Craighead Counties in northeast Arkansas sponsored by the Memphis District, Corps of Engineers. Archaeological site studies were carried out in advance of construction of the Buffalo Creek Diversion Canal and were designed to provide detailed evaluation of the sites data content and to develop data recovery plans as necessary.
Volume I: This report describes archaeological test and data recovery excavations at three prehistoric sites. Volume II: This report describes archeological test and data recovery excavations at the Steele site (3MS351).
The Republic of Korea's industrial policy has directed that nation's economy through nearly three decades of spectacular growth. But the authors of this paper maintain that this policy is showing signs of being outmoded. The time has come, the authors argue, for the Korean government to stop managing the economy's structural development and to redefine the responsibilities of business and government. Under this proposed compact, the allocation of resources would shift from the government to the private industrial and financial sectors. The transformation of the government bureaucracy from an ad hoc policy role to one of a transparent and predictable regulator is a key to the success of this undertaking. These new directions would present the government with enormous challenges. Greater competitive discipline and regulatory oversight would be required. While dealing with the complexities of the transition, the government would have to maintain macroeconomic stability and the momentum of savings and investment. For comparison, the study examines the industrial economies of France, Germany, Japan, and the United States, which underwent similar shifts.
An intensive survey for prehistoric, historic, and architectural properties within the planned Buffalo Creek Diversion Project, located in Craighead and Mississippi Counties, Arkansas, was conducted in June and July, 1978. The study methods included a review of published literature, a reviews with of county, state, and federal archival sources, a cartographic review, interviews with local informants, intensive field examination, and archaeological analysis of artifact collections. A total of 30 sites were inventoried during the field examination. The cultural resources include prehistoric properties dating from the terminal Paleo-Indian, Early Archaic, Late Archaic, Late Woodland, Early Mississippian, and Middle Mississippian Periods. Nearly all of the historic sites date from the twentieth century, and historic site types recognized include domestic sites, structural ruins, and refuse areas. One distinct housing type was identified in the project area, the linear burgalow. Four sites are considered eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and all will be severely impacted by the planned project. A range of plans for impact mitigation is developed including avoidance of the sites, in situ preservation, and data salvage.
