Title

5b.43 Excavation of Esch Mounds

Description

The Esch mounds were excavated in 1930. Many of the objects from the two burial mounds show their southern orientation: Flint Ridge flint bladelets, platform pipes made from black steatite and Ohio pipestone, and rocker-stamped and cord-marked pots. The silver covering the copper ornaments came from Ontario. The sandstone elbow pipe is unusual for Ohio Hopewell sites, though similar pipes have been found in New York.
