Abstract
This paper presents a summary of the Tunacunnahee site data which contained one of the more important concentrations of Ohio Hopewell materials (including more than nine and maybe as many as 15 panpipes). Jefferies also describes the environmental setting of the site and describes its burial mounds, the burial attributes, habitation area, and artifacts. Results of a surface survey of the Lookout Valley are also presented. 'The exact nature of this affiliation is uncertain, with the Hopewellian influence apparently largely restricted to the mortuary sector of the society.… No other sites in the research area are known to have burial mounds or to contain Hopewellian material.' (page 170). The site is located near the junction of several old trails. Only the data pertaining to Hopewell or Hopewell-like artifacts were indexed for OCM (Outlline of Cultural Materials) subjects.
