The Kadohadacho
Chapter of the The Arkansas Archeological Society was formed in 1960 for the purpose of uniting all persons interested in the archeology of Arkansas, for the recognition and preservation of our cultural heritage and for fostering and encouraging the public’s interest in the preservation of the past. Chapters of the AAS are located in various parts of the state, and monthly meetings at the Chapters offer speakers, news of current events, outreach activities, and opportunities to help with research and preservation projects—as well as friendship and shared interests.
The Kadohadacho Chapter is the chapter of the Arkansas Archeological Society (AAS) serving southwestern Arkansas. Membership is open to anybody interested in archeology. The chapters holds its meetings every second Tuesday of the month on the SAU campus in Magnolia, Arkansas. The Kadohadacho Chapter is one of the oldest Chapters of the AAS, but its membership and activities have decreased over the past few years. We hope that this spring the Kadohadacho Chapter will return to its place as one of the most active chapters in the state. Why are we called “Kadohadacho”? The Kadohadacho (Kä'dohadä'cho, meaning "real chiefs") were a tribe of the Caddo confederacy. The Caddo, of course, were one of the major groups of Native Americans living in southwestern Arkansas during late prehistoric and early historic times.
