Arkansas Archeological Survey and KUAF Collaborate on Archeology Minute
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Arkansas Archeological Survey has partnered with KUAF Radio, the University of Arkansas’ NPR affiliate, to create a series of radio spots called “The Archeology Minute.”
These one-minute long broadcasts will air every day in March and will reach a potential audience of over 600,000 in a 14-county area of west and Northwest Arkansas, parts of eastern Oklahoma and southern Missouri. The Archeology Minute will not only educate the public about what archeology is and how archeology is done, it will also provide listeners with many facts unique to Arkansas archeology. Topics range from the latest excavation sites to the archeological history of Arkansas.
Archeology Minute will air during Morning Edition, Weekend Edition, Ozarks at Large, All Things Considered and Fresh Air. KUAF will archive the Archeology Minute at kuaf.com/programs/archeology-minute-kuaf.
The Arkansas Archeological Survey is a unit of the University of Arkansas system and a statewide organization whose mission is to conserve and research the state's rich archeological heritage and communicate this information to the public.
