Abstract
'From 1971 through 1991 the authors undertook a survey of prehistoric sites in Muskingum County, eastern Ohio.' (page 366). Their work also included some excavation. Carskadden and Morton analyzed the site data to further understand settlement patterns of the Adena and Hopewell. They found the Adena communites also inhabited the river bottoms so there was continuity of settlement pattern between the two cultures. They also found many areas were occupied continuously from Adena into Hopewell times. They believe the ritual and mortuary focus of these communites were the nearby mounds. The mounds may be more closely associated with river-bottom communities who would have had a larger work force. Only the data pertaining to the Hopewell were indexed for Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM) subjects.
