Date Issued:

Summary:
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.
