Abstract
Braun examines interregional exchange and supralocal interaction throughout the Hopewell Horizon in the Midwest. This regional exchange system or network had precedents going back at least to 6000 B.P. These earlier exchange systems also expanded and contracted. He proposes '… the phenomena of Hopewell arose and faded … as a result of a of continuously increasing social interaction among large numbers of similarly organised or 'peer' local residential aggregates, across several ecologically similar regions.' (page 125).
