AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Snow describes the Adena physical type, mostly based on the cranial material. He compares them to the Shell Mound and Fort Ancient peoples. Skull deformation and a few of the phsical abnormalities are described. Snow then explores the possible origins of the Adena people and concludes they probably came from Mexico; a hypothesis most anthropologist would no longer agree with.
