Abstract

This article presents a reconstruction and analysis of the Caldwell Mound located in the central Scioto River valley of southern Ohio. The mound contained a log tomb, at least four burials, and associated funerary objects. Four AMS radiocarbon dates place the Caldwell Mound within the last century BC and first century AD, and the mound contains evidence of practices historically associated with “Adena” and “Hopewell.” Few other records exist from this period in the region despite it experiencing perhaps some of the most dramatic socioreligious transformations in precolumbian North America. This analysis documents early evidence for the diversification and segregation of leadership roles based on the interpretation of three buried individuals. It also demonstrates the utility and efficacy of working with amateur-produced records and collections, even when incomplete, to reconstruct and glean insight from important Woodland period sites.
考德威尔土墩案
本文对位于俄亥俄州南部西奥托河谷中部的考德威尔土丘进行了重建和分析。这个土堆里有一座原木坟墓,至少有四个墓葬,以及相关的随葬品。四次AMS放射性碳测年将考德威尔土墩置于公元前一世纪和公元一世纪之间,该土墩包含了与“Adena”和“Hopewell”历史相关的实践证据。尽管这一地区可能经历了前哥伦布时期北美最戏剧性的社会宗教转变,但这一时期的其他记录却很少。本分析基于对三个被埋葬个体的解释,记录了领导角色多样化和隔离的早期证据。它还展示了与业余制作的记录和收藏合作的效用和有效性,即使不完整,也可以重建和收集重要林地时期遗址的见解。
