The Ohio Hopewell Episode

"Ohio has a unique prehistory which is written in large earthwork monuments across its landscape. In the Ohio Hopewell Episode, the author, A. Martin Byers, has presented a new interpretive reconstruction of the culture of the prehistoric Native American groups who were responsible for these monuments. Basing his interpretation on a careful analysis and classification of the monumental archaeological record, he presents an empirically and theoretically well-grounded and broad-based symbolic ecological reconstruction of the way of life of the responsible peoples." "This religious, symbolic, social, and ecological interpretation of one of the most fascinating archaeological records of the prehistoric world of Native Americans cannot help but stimulate discussion and debate."--Jacket.
