A little history

This project began in 2000, when Dr. Bell showed us a box of photographs from his visits to the Spiro Mound. 
A few of these had been published in various books over the years, but the majority had never been seen.
We wanted to help preserve these photos so, he allowed us to borrow them and make scans. 
We quickly discovered that other people were interested in seeing these photos and learning more about them so,
 we decided that these photographs and the information about them needed to be recorded.
4 years and 400 pages later, we published our book.
