A View From Afar: The Use of Remote Sensing Technologies to Examine Hopewell Sites in Ohio Slide2

Capstone Presentation:American Anthropological Association111th Annual ConferenceSan Francisco, California November 14-18, 2012Slide3

Timeline of Mound Building Cultures in OhioAdena: 800 BC to 100 BCHopewell: 200 BC to 500 AD

Fort Ancient Tradition (Mississippian): 1000 AD to 1500 Slide4

Mound DestructionThe Need for PreservationSlide5

Study Areas and Major Rivers of Ohio Slide6

Resources Used in this Study1. Early maps of Hopewell mounds and earthworks retrieved from: Squier, E. G., & Davis, E. H. (1848). Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley (Classics in Smithsonian Anthropology). Smithsonian Books.

2. Modern orthorectified

aerial photography (Tiff Format) and

Lidar

data (

las

. format) available from the State of Ohio Office of Information Technology (2011), Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program

.

3. ODOT

(Ohio Department of Transportation)

shapefiles

for Airport, Active Rail, City, County, Interstate, State Routes, Township, and US Routes

.

4. DNR

(Department of Natural Resources)

hydrography

shapefile

of

Ohio‘s

water sources, and divide line between Lake Erie and the Ohio River

.

5. USGS (United States Geological Survey) aerial photographs from the late 1950's and 1960's, as well as SRTM DEMs. Slide7
