"New Discoveries at Hopewell Culture NHP" by Dr. Bret J. Ruby

The Robert L. Harness Lecture Series concludes on Tuesday, August 27th with Dr. Bret J. Ruby presenting "New Discoveries at Hopewell Culture National Historical Park."

Large-scale magnetic surveys and small-scale excavations are revealing hidden Hopewell landscapes. These surveys are revealing remnants of a rich array of ritual architecture in the "empty" spaces between the monuments. This presentation will describe newly discovered ditched enclosures, shrine buildings, workshops, and several timber post circles that may have served as "world center shrines" during the Hopewell period.
