Thousands of Artifacts Unearthed in Western Fayetteville

KUAF

Published May 9, 2018 at 2:03 PM CDT

A team of archeologists recently wrapped up an excavation project in west Fayetteville. Thousands of artifacts were recovered.

From October to March, Flat Earth Archeology from Cabot excavated a site near Rupple Road in western Fayetteville. The project was prompted by the city’s plans to relocate a portion of N. Rupple Road to align with the existing intersection on W. Mt. Comfort Road. Last night at a meeting of the Ko-ko-ci Chapter of the Arkansas Archeological Society, a team of archeologists discussed what they’ve unearthed.
