Some dated material but still well worth a serious read.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2014

This book is a series of scholarly articles that at times might seem to the average layman as unreadable but nonetheless there are some gems here that make it worthwhile for any person interested in the Middle Woodlands Period of North America. Seeing as this is an older publication (before DNA testing) some articles seem dated where they are are trying to figure out if some of the burials are related to each other. One archaeologist I spoke to who has been able to test Hopewell Culture bones has told me that he has discovered a lot of the "entombments" (if that was even the purpose of the burials), are not related by DNA ,so that would possibly make some information in regard to the mounds being family "Vaults" seem outdated. The real strength of this book are the numerous articles on Hopewell influence throughout the Mid-West, Deep South, Far North, and Atlantic seaboard areas. I noted the farther a site was from the proposed ceremonial capital of the Hopewell the less influence until a person could argue there was no Hopewell influence beyond the fact that there is a mound there.So the Hopewell culture seems a really loose cultural affiliation the further out from Central Ohio and Scioto,Muskingham and Miami River drainages systems
There seems to be an agreement about the Hopewell use of copper ceremonial artifacts in their earth renewal ceremonies and the use as well of other artifacts and characteristics of the numerous and almost countless mounds dotting North America. There are some very good descriptions of some of the excavations of different mounds and what was found in them from different regions of North America by some iminent archaeologists. That in itself is enough to make any mystery novel reader want more! With the numerous articles in regard to Hopewell influence in other geographic regions of North America you could make a safe speculation on who built the mounds. I thought the book leaned toward seeing the Scioto region and the numerous earthworks around Central and Southwestern Ohio as "THE" Hopewell Culture ceremonial capital-so maybe people made pilgrimages from really far outlying regions influenced by the Hopewell Culture to show their sacred respect and honor their clans and families by sponsoring some of the numerous earthworks. They did this by hauling tons of earth and in return they probably were treated to spectacles,dreams, and dancing that our imagination could only lightly fathom!
