| Summary |
"The Lawhorn Site" by John Moselage is a scientific publication written in the early 21st century. This volume documents an archaeological investigation of the Lawhorn Site located near the St. Francis River in northeastern Arkansas, focusing on the findings of pottery and artifacts linked to Mississippian and earlier cultures. The work highlights the dedication and methodology of an amateur archaeologist, John Moselage, as he collaborates with professionals to explore the historical significance of the site. The beginning of the work presents a preface by Carl H. Chapman, emphasizing the enthusiasm and determination Moselage displayed throughout the investigation. The narrative sets the stage for the excavation process, detailing the challenges faced by the team and their quest for authentic archaeological methods and accuracy. Chapman's introduction also highlights the collaborative nature of the project, the geographical context of the Lawhorn Site, and the ensuing methodology employed during the excavations, which included meticulous record-keeping and systematic approaches to uncovering both pottery and burial remains from different cultural layers.
