The ancient Indians of Arkansas lived in separate families, mainly hunting and fishing. Tribal sites found in the northeast of the state are ancient human settlement sites in the United States.

Three thousand years ago, the main occupation of the Indians was agriculture, gardening and crafts. It was at that time that the pottery art of the ancient inhabitants of these places was born. In the Arkansas River area, archaeological excavations in the Toltec Hills have uncovered a large number of unique ancient finds. According to one version, the hills were of artificial origin and were built for religious ceremonies.

In 1541, members of the Hernando de Soto expedition first explored the territory of modern Arkansas.
