About this audiobook
Primer of Ohio Archaeology: The Mound Builders and the Indians offers a concise yet ambitious survey of Ohio's ancient earthworks, village sites, burials, implements, and cultural sequences. Written in the lucid, classificatory style of early twentieth-century museum archaeology, it places the so-called "Mound Builders" within a developing framework of Adena, Hopewell, and later Native traditions, while reflecting the period's effort to replace speculation with stratigraphy, typology, and comparative evidence. H. C. Shetrone, long associated with the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society and eventually its director, wrote from intimate experience with excavations, collections, and public interpretation. His career unfolded at a time when Ohio's mounds were being threatened by agriculture, development, and antiquarian collecting, and the book's urgency derives from his conviction that archaeological remains were both scientific records and a shared civic inheritance. This volume is recommended for readers interested in the history of American archaeology, Midwestern prehistory, and the intellectual transition from romantic mound-builder myths to more disciplined cultural-historical analysis. Though some terminology is dated, Shetrone's primer remains a valuable guide to how Ohio's archaeological past was first synthesized for an educated public.
