	Adena culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Adena were one of the earliest of the Mound Builder cultures that flourished in eastern North America before the time of European contact.
		The Adena culture is sometimes viewed as part of the roots of the Mississippian culture mound-building peoples.
		Adena culture's most lasting artifacts were substantial earthworks, a number of which still survive and can be studied by archaeologists.

		From this culture (along with the new influx of Berbers from Spain) a new civilization was beginning to emerge -- the ADENA CULTURE.
		The Adena burial rites were a mixture of the old and the new; and the bodies of the ruling class and other important people were usually sprinkled with RED OCHRE and laid to rest with a variety of artifacts such as flints, beads, pipes, and mica and copper ornaments.
		As the archaeologists have discovered, Adena marabouts were also buried with varying amounts of grave goods -- the amount indicating either the social inequities in their culture, or perhaps varying degrees of baraka.

		Others seize eagerly on each small point of difference, and brandish relatively small parts of the Australian cultural experience (such as the poetry of Henry Lawson, Australian Rules football, or the pie floater) as if these were sufficient to demonstrate that a new and vital culture has emerged in the two centuries since European settlement.
		Finally, there is what might be termed a culturally agnostic view, which holds that endlessly debating Australian culture is futile and pointless, and that the important thing is to simply get on with living and creating it.
		This is the culture of "cutting down the tall poppy", which reveals itself in many aspects of Australians' outlooks.

	ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
		This culture was defined in its Ohio-West Virginia heart area primarily on the basis of the ceremonialism associated with the dead, ritual equipment and the principal form of interment in large conical burial mounds.
		This culture, nominally considered to be a development from the Adena in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, was characterized by burial mounds, enclosures and elaborate ritualism which was transferred in an interaction sphere to peoples outside the area.
		This culture which is equated in its later stages with the historic Shawnee, is one which was strongly influenced by the heavy concentration of Mississippian colonial groups to the west slightly down river from the Falls area.

	Burial Mounds (Adena Ritual)
		Other archaeologists, treating this variation more simply as variation in cultural "traits" lacking the social overtones, have suggested that Adena cremation was an early form of burial (or a late form) followed by (or preceded by) inhumation in log tombs.
		A theme in my approach to Adena is that we have perhaps been misled by the size and complexity of the mounds in interpreting the culture.
		For all his importance in developing Adena as an archaeological concept 50 years after Thomas's (1984) debunking of the Mound Builder hypothesis, it must be kept firmly in mind that Webb in 1945 (Webb and Snow 1945:328-332) could still plausibly argue that Adena originated in the Valley of Mexico.
