Hopewell Culture National Historical Park Conservation of Archeological Resources Environmental Assessment, February 2005
At Hopewell Culture National Historical Park (park), located in Chillicothe, Ross County, Ohio, (Figure 1) the National Park Service (NPS) proposes to recover archeological resources from a 5.4 acre site within the Hopewell Mound Group Unit of the park. The purpose of the proposed action is to conserve 2,000 year old sub-surface archeological resources at risk from erosion within the Hopewell Mound Group Unit of the park. This action is needed because a steep and actively eroding bend in the North Fork of Paint Creek bordering the project site is eroding and aggressively destroying and threatening the archeological resources potentially related to the prehistoric use of the Hopewell Mound Group Unit site. Through the conservation of archeological resources at this site, the park would meet its primary purpose of preserving, protecting, and interpreting archeological resources. Conservation of archeological resources from the project site would provide a better understanding of the day to day life of the Hopewell ceremonial culture for NPS staff and researchers specializing in the Hopewell Culture. Conservation of archeological resources from the project site would also enhance the park's ability to educate the public on the Hopewell Culture's ceremonial lifestyle.
