The Hopewell, a mid to late woodland culture making a brief appearence in North America from around 400 B.C. to 500 A.D., dotted the landscape along major waterways and tributaries, with a concentration in the Ohio Valley.
Living in this region, I feel lucky to have oppurtunities to surface hunt Hopewellian sites. The mysteries of thier existence, and artistic craftsmanship are just a couple of reasons that will lure a hunter to retrace Hopewell steps and seek to preserve the remnants of a vanished race.
