AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Griffin summarized this article by stating, 'What did I call that New Castle stuff when I first saw it…? 'Reluctant Hopewell,' and I still think that this is a group participating in some of the ideas which are common to Hopewell, but haven't quite reached it yet.' (page 59). The differences in mortuary structure and earthwork orientations between the New Castle phase in Indiana and the Mound City Group in Ohio are compared. Later mound structures are found to be oriented toward a single structure. It appears to represent a concern for centralized ceremonial observance.
