Abstract
The authors present evidence of Hopewellian influences found in burial mounds and burial practices in southern Ontario, with copper and silver panpipes and silver beads. The silver source is in Ontario and silver was traded south to the Hopewell probably through New York. The authors point out that Struever said that different societies participated in the interaction sphere at different levels. 'Such a conclusion also suggests that each society participated on its own terms, tailoring Hopewellian practices to express its own social truths.' (page 119).
