Thirty nine years ago Olaf Prufer suggested that the Hopewell settlement patern in Ohio ca. AD 1-350 was one of small farming hamlets clustered around major earthworks centers. The majority of papers in this book were originally presented in Pittsburgh in April 1992 at the 57th Annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology at a symposium entitles "Testing the Prufer Model of Ohio Hopewell Settlement Pattern". It contains 15 contributions divided into 5 sections.
