Description
Hopewell and Hopewell related sites in the midwest and southeast
United States are presented through an analysis and comparison
of ceramic and non-ceramic artifacts and traits. Consideration
of the sacred/secular distinction for Hopewell,
Tchefuncte-Marksville, Troyville, Coles Creek, Deptford-Yent,
Cartersville-Tunacunnhee, Early Swift Creek-Green Point, and
Weeden Island are discussed as well as their economic, religious,
political, and social systems. Interregional comparisons
suggest that the east side deposit type mounds of the
Weeden Island cultures along the northwest Florida coast and
adjacent areas reflect the burial customs of midwestern
Hopewell and its southeastern affiliates. The east side deposit
type mounds are shown to be derived from midwestern
Hopewell, but have closer affinities with the southeastern
Hopewellian affiliates (Marksville, Yent, and Green Point).
Parallelism between Hopewell and Weeden Island cultures revolves
around a ceremonialism presumably associated with a
corn based economy.
