I'm a down and dirty girl! Oh, not in the way you think!…read more I like to get my hands and nails dirty. I like to dig. I like to discover and see what is beneath the surface. Way down! Just as far as anyone has ever gone. Let's look at the midden. The *WHAT* you ask? The midden. The dirt with *leftovers* in it. Leftovers? Like meatloaf & spinach & biscuits? Well, yeah . . . . kind of . . . leftovers like from folks who went before us. Leftovers like flint chips and sherds and anything that didn't decay that someone threw out their back door! And let's look at the rich black dirt (midden) that has all sorts of decayed matter in it . . . . like meatloaf & spinach & biscuits! You did know that you can tell when someone has lived on land by the richness and change in color of the soil, right? On my first visit to Toltec Mounds (a misnomer - this site really had nothing to do with the ancient Toltec culture) I knew that we were going to find rich midden. Its flat country. Very flat. Then out of nowhere rise these beautiful mounds. All built one basket-load of dirt at a time. Several of the mounds remain. Today it is just a few miles southeast of Little Rock. Archeologists believe this was a large ceremonial & governmental site. Who really knows for sure? Those who do are long gone. It was occupied between AD 600 to 1050. That they do know for sure. All sorts of ways of dating the site. Tree rings, carbon dating, etc. This was a large village with an earthern embankment surrounding it. Yes, I spent a lot of time here getting my nails & hands dirty. This wasn't my first love, er site, but it was one of the best. I helped excavate several pits on Mound A, I used my cartography skills extensively mapping each pit, I screened for minute artifacts, I surveyed, I washed and catalogued artifacts, I killed a thousand mosquitos and I made lifetime friends . . . all at Toltec Mounds Archeological State Park in Scott, Arkansas. When I was there it was still farm land. That was before it became a State Park. Before many folks knew its true value. Before we put test pits in. Before there was a road. Before there was a museum and a visitors center. Before anyone really knew there had been a thriving Plum Bayou Culture there. Yes, I got my nails dirty here. Real dirty. I used my trowel and line level. I learned what a cottonmouth was here. (Not the way your mouth feels the next morning!) I learned what humidity is like when it is just so thick & heavy in the air that sweat doesn't dry off your skin and you never can get cool. I learned what mosquito repellent is really for. I learned to work in tandem with a teammate in sifting a large screen. I learned it is only marginally cooler in the shade than the sun when it is this hot. I learned how good a cold beer tastes in the evening just before bed. I learned to take salt tablets. I learned that it is far more fun to dig in the dirt than to sit around talking about how boring life is with manicured hands. Make memories now. Who knows, you may meet the love of your life in the next test pit or at the evening bonfire or out surveying. I did. And he/she will have dirty fingernails too. And you'll both know more about prehistory.
