Eaker Site, Archaeological site in Mississippi County, Arkansas.
The Eaker Site extends across 50 acres near Blytheville, containing hundreds of underground structures identified through magnetometry surveys and excavations.
Archaeological evidence indicates that Native Americans inhabited the Eaker Site between 600 CE and 1450 CE, with main settlement during the Nodena phase.
The site holds numerous artifacts, including over 2,000 pottery fragments and 100 projectile points, revealing details about Mississippian civilization trading practices.
The location became part of Eaker Air Force Base in 1942, and researchers continue excavations to document the remaining structures and artifacts.
Magnetic surveys have revealed approximately 400 house sites beneath the surface, making it the largest known Late Mississippian Nodena settlement.
