AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Dragoo discusses the relationship between the Adena Culture and the Hopewell Culture. He reviews some of the Hopewell practices that had their origin in Adena, such as certain design elements and similarities between some Adena 'Robbins' blades and projectile points, etc. Dragoo believes the long-headed Lenid peoples moved into the Ohio Valley while the Adena were still in the area. The two groups persisted side by side for several hundred years after which the higher ranked Adena peoples moved to the south and to the east. The rest of the Adena peoples were absorbed into the Hopewell. While the two groups lived near each other there was 'blending and modification of original traits contributed by both peoples…' (page 34). This paper is mainly about Adena, how it changed in Late Adena times, and how it influenced and was influenced by the Hopewell. Only the data that pertain to the Hopewell were indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) subjects.
