AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Carskadden and Morton use survey data from the central Muskingum Valley to explore settlement patterns. Both drainage basins and hinterlands were surveyed. They were particularly interested in how Adena settlement patterns influenced later Hopewell patterns. They argue that Adena communities were dispersed clusters of river-bottom hamlets from early Adena times on with no major shift of people from the hinterlands to the river bottoms. There were also hinterland Adena communities, which were also clustered, and ritual/mortuary mounds separated from the living communities. The Muskingum Valley is compared with similar surveys in the Upper Licking River and Jonathan Creek Valleys.
