Description: Two images show a human effigy pipe created by the prehistoric Adena culture, who lived in the Ohio Valley between 800 B.C. and 100 A.D. The second image, taken during excavation of Burial 21 of the Adena Mound in Ross County in 1901, shows the pipe in the ground, partially covered. In the first image, the details of the tube pipe are visible. Made from pipestone, this large, anthropomorphic tube pipe is in the form of a man standing upright, wearing a patterned loincloth, earspools and a feather bustle. He has a swelling on his throat that may represent a goiter. His head and torso are large in comparison to his legs, suggesting to some that he represents a dwarf, although this may only reflect artistic convention. The mouthpiece has a small hole in a semicircular projection at the top of the head. The bowl of the pipe is located between the figure's feet. The front, or ventral face, is light yellowish brown and much of the back, or dorsal face, is yellowish red. The pipe, which is also called Adena Man or the Adena Pipe, measures 1.97 by 2.60 by 7.87 inches (5 by 6.6 by 20 cm) and is held in the Ohio History Connection Archaeology Collection. As of 2013, it is recognized as the state artifact of Ohio. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Human effigy pipe also called the Adena Man or the Adena Pipe, from the Adena culture, Early Woodland period, 500 BC-1 AD. This photograph shows the pipe being excavated from Burial 21, Adena Mound, Ross County, in 1901. The object, which measures 1.97 by 2.60 by 7.87 inches (5 by 6.6 by 20 cm), is held in the Ohio History Connection Archaeology Collection, and is now recognized as the state artifact of Ohio. Tubular pipes such as this one were common in the Adena culture (800 B.C. - A.D. 1), although effigy pipes are unusual, rendering this particular pipe very unique. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Typed on reverse: "Miamisburg Mound. State Route 9 (15-57-151) Miamisburg, Ohio. Montgomery - Co." The Miamisburg Mound (officially Miamisburg Mound State Memorial) is the largest conical burial mound in the state of Ohio and possibly in the eastern U. S. It is located south of downtown Miamisburg, on Mound Avenue. Archaeological investigations of the surrounding area suggest that it was constructed by the prehistoric Adena Indians (800 BC - AD 100). Built on a 100-foot-high bluff, the mound measures 877 feet in circumference and was originally more than 70 feet high. Visitors may climb the 116 steps from its base to the summit for a view of the surrounding park. The 37-acre park has picnic tables and a playground. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Fascinated by the Hopewell and Adena mounds, Ephraim Squier (1821-1887) befriended Edwin Davis, a specialist on the Ohio mounds, and assisted him in his research. In 1851, the two men wrote their findings in the first book ever published by the Smithsonian Institution, "Ancient Monuments of the Mississippi Valley." Squier became well-known and used his newfound popularity to become a prominent ambassador to Central and South American countries. One of his primary goals during his service was also to study prehistoric sites. Squier served in Guatemala, Peru, Nicaragua, and Honduras. He also continued to publish, including several works on the pre-Columbian peoples of the Americas. He died in 1887. View on Ohio Memory.
