Description
Through a study of representative sites in Ohio and Illinos
a reconstruction of Hopewellian exploitation of available
vertebrate fauna is presented. Written accounts of faunal
remains and symbolic representations (e.g., effigy pipes)
from mound and village sites are examined to determine the
manner of exploitation in the sacred and secular spheres.
While faunal utilization is somewhat uniform in Ohio and
Illinois, there is a more noticeable overlap of finds from
mound and village loci in the latter region, indicating
that the sacred-secular distincion was less explicit there.
For both areas a totomeic clan system is considered as a
plausible explanation for the use of chosen vertebrates in
a symbolic fashion. By presenting such hypotheses, this
study illustrates that a close scrutiny of faunal debris
can provide information not only on subsistence, but also
on the political, religious, and ideological aspects of
a society.
