CHAPTER FIFTEEN Interpretations of Ohio Hopewell 1845-1984 and the recent emphasis on the study of dispersed hamlets
ohio hopewell community organization • Kent, Ohio • Published In 1997 • Pages: 405-426
By: Griffin, James Bennett.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Griffin offers a critique of the volume, Ohio Hopewell community organization, edited by William S. Dancey and Paul J. Pacheco (eHRAF nos. 46-60). He doesn't agree with the various authors that the Hopewell only lived in small dispersed hamlets, but he is happy the problem of domestic settlement has been addressed. Griffin believes the Ohio Hopewell also lived in settlements near the mounds. Before Griffin discusses the other chapters he describes how Hopewell and the other mound builders came to be discovered and how they have been studied for the past 150 years.
