- W818712272 abstract "New Deal era excavation records and collections from the 1939 to 1941 investigations of the large Robbins Mound (15Be3) in Boone County, Kentucky, were reexamined to acquire new information on Adena mound construction methods, mortuary practices, and paleodemography. Computer-generated graphics proved to be a particularly effective means of investigating changes over time in the configuration of the cemetery, specifically the location of the mound's apex and its overall shape. This study of WPA era field notes and University of Kentucky Museum of Anthropology specimens demonstrates the continuing research significance of existing museum collections. Adena sites have long excited the imagination of professional and amateur archaeologists alike. This interest can, in part, be attributed to the presence of 'geometric earthworks that some have considered mysterious, calling.them sacred circles; the existence of many large, structurally complex, conical burial mounds; and an impressive array of exotic materials often associated with graves. A focus on Adena mounds was assured once it was recognized that they were related to other elaborate mortuary manifestations elsewhere in the midcontinent, specifically the Hopewell sites of Ohio. Work conducted since the definition of Adena in 1932 (Greenman 1932) has resulted in the recognition of a core area centered in the Ohio River Valley and including portions of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and West Virginia. University of Kentucky archaeologists in the 1930s and 1940s, particularly WilliamS. Webb, were instrumental in the early definition of Adena, especially in terms of material culture (Webb and Snow 1945) . The extensive survey and excavation program supported largely by Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration (WPA; later the Work Projects Administration) permitted the excavation of many large Adena mounds in Kentucky, particularly in the Bluegrass and along the Ohio River, and the development of extraordinary collections of artifacts and extensive files of frequently detailed field records. Adena mounds represented one of four primary research foci for the New Deal archaeologists, the others being Archaic shell mounds and Fort Ancient and Missfssippian habitation sites (Milner and Smith 1986:14-15)." @default.
