Abstract

“Hopewell” refers to a distinct array of social and ideological relations that are seen in the middle-range societies of the Midwest and South during the Woodland period ca. AD 1–400. Participating societies were regionally distinct, but many shared a common commitment to growing storable seed crops, a collective orientation toward protracted mortuary rituals, and a need to create and manipulate complex cultural landscapes. Hopewell also was characterized by the development of an expanded system of material symbols that employed images of overt cosmological reference. Participating groups were clearly linked on a variety of scales, but it was the shared importance of these symbols that has given Hopewell its enduring character.
