The Adena, Hopewell, and Fort Ancient of Ohio

This title focuses on three unique cultures that lived during prehistoric times. The Adena, Hopewell, and Fort Ancient cultures lived in the Ohio region before written records of history were kept. Evidence of these cultures can be seen in the man-made mounds they built across the Middle Ohio Valley. Although scarce, the artifacts found within these mounds have helped archaeologists piece together the history of these cultures who lived so many years ago.
