Archeologists survey the backwoods of Hot Springs National Park

There’s more than what meets the eye in the backwoods sections of Hot Springs National Park. For the past three years, the National Park Service has surveyed archeological sites in parts of the national park away from Bathhouse Row. NPS Archeologist Bill Hunt said this year’s survey focuses on three sites: the Sunset Trail area; an old African-American cemetery in the north-central part of the park; and an archeological site in the Bull Bayou area believed to be 3,000 to 6,000 years old.
