Midwest Settlements: Adena-Hopewell (GEO, ARC) (1 gen 1200 anni – 1 gen 1400 anni)

Descrizione:

The Midwest Settlements refer to the groups of Native American settlements and their peoples located east if the Mississippi River. The areas of these settlements are characterized by their plentiful river systems (due to the Ohio & Mississippi), wetlands, highlands, perhaps the most fertile lands of any other settlement area, and a humid climate with a tendency for long summers. These settlements made use of their surroundings to farm their “three sisters” crops (as well as other less staple crops), and hunt/fish (deer, elk, bears, turkey, more) plentiful food supplies and form extraordinarily large communities with sedentary lifestyles involved with great trade networks supported by their river systems. One of the most notable peoples of the Midwest Settlements, were those of the Adena-Hopewell culture, formed around the Ohio area, notable for their pottery, copper tools (such as axes), and most notably unique and carefully made architectural mounds which served primarily cultural purposes rather than functional ones, although some were used for functional purposes.
