Menard-Hodges Site, Archaeological mound complex in Arkansas County, United States.
The site contains two main platform mounds, with Mound A reaching 39 feet in height and Mound B rising 13 feet, surrounding a two-acre plaza.
Archaeological investigations since the 1880s revealed continuous human occupation from 600 BC through the Mississippian period and into European contact in the 1700s.
The location represents a significant Native American settlement, particularly associated with the Quapaw people and their interactions with French explorers in the region.
The National Park Service protects the 360-acre site as part of Arkansas Post National Memorial, preserving it from farming damage and unauthorized excavations.
Edward Palmer documented numerous pottery vessels and artifacts between 1881 and 1883, establishing the site's connection to multiple Native American cultural periods.
