== Collins Mound Site ==
Consisting of 5 mounds within an 18-acre area located near the White River, this site has been dated to the Early to Middle Mississippian period (A.D. 900-1400.) Geometric surveys have hinted at the site being a complex prehistoric settlement associated with complex ritual mortuary events linking regional native populations.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Sullivan|first1=Stephanie M.|last2=McKinnon|first2=Duncan P.|date=June 1, 2013|title=The Collins Site (3wa1): Exploring Architectural Variation in the Western Ozark Highlands|journal=Southeastern Archaeology|volume=32|issue=1|pages=70–84|doi=10.1179/sea.2013.32.1.006|s2cid=128828666|issn=0734-578X}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite thesis|last=Carmelita|first=Angeles|title=The Dirt on the Collins Mounds Site|date=January 1, 2016|publisher=University of Arkansas, Fayetteville|url=http://scholarworks.uark.edu/etd/1719|language=en}}</ref>
