Description
The need for a definition of Hopewell which is more consistent
with the facts has long been recognized. Attempts have been
made to define Hopewell as a mortuary complex, a cult, a culture,
and an interaction sphere, among others. None of these adequately
explains the factual data accumulated over the last century. Several "core" sites in Southern Ohio have been selected for
this study on the basis of the availability of original excavation
reports and site similarities and differences. A close comparison
of these similarities and differences has resulted in the delineation
of a model, and a subsequent redefinition of Hopewell consistent
with the known facts. The similarities were explained as the
participation of local cultures in the wider Hopewell System, while
the differences were attributed to the unchanged, or slightly modified
local cultures which participated in the Hopewell System as
herein defined.
