Summary:
Discernment of a third socio-political status level in burials of the Arkansas River valley is the subject of this thesis. In a hierarchy, such as the Spiro Focus chiefdom of the Arkansas River valley, effort expended for burial of a socio-political high status person is proportional to previous importance in the society. Two higher levels of socio-political status groups, buried with conch shell and copper artifacts, have previously been reported in the archaeological literature. It is proposed that there was a third socio-political high status group buried with imported pottery.
