Kansas City Hopewell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Local expressions of the Hopewell tradition, including the Kansas City Hopewell.

The Kansas City Hopewell were the farthest west regional variation of the Hopewell tradition of the Middle Woodland period (100 BCE – 700 CE). Sites were located in Kansas and Missouri around the mouth of the Kansas River where it enters the Missouri River. There are 30 recorded Kansas City Hopewell sites.[1]

The sites are made up of distinctive pottery styles and impressive burial mounds containing stone vault tombs. It is however uncertain whether this culture developed locally when people adopted Hopewell traits, or if westward migrating Hopewell people brought it all with them.[2]

My name is Brad Logan. I'm the research associate professor of anthropology and I'm talking about the Kansas Archaeological field school of 2010. What Archaeology is, is the study of the human past in every regard. Everything we can learn about what human beings have done, either in history or pre history based on their material remains. This site belongs to a culture we call Hopewell, which extends throughout the American midwest. When we first dug the site in 1991, we found artifacts that are quite similar to this and basically one of the reasons that I went back is to kind of connect some of the excavations that we have done in 1991 and increase the sample. In particular, well what you see before you here, a representative sample of pottery, which are very distinctive to the Kansas City Hopewell culture. The decorative treatment around the mouth of the vessels, so these are rim shards from around the mouth, a projector points and knives, piercing and cutting tools, hunting weapons, scraping tools for preparing hides and at the end we have representative of some of the animals that were hunted. Really it was an opportunity, the field School, but really I wanted to do archaeology as a field and it's a necessary step to take and it's something that I want to do for the experience and for the enjoyment. Basically what we try to do in the Field School is teach the very meticulous methods that are employed, not just by the archeologists in the United States but around the world. To be quite frank, it will give me my skills as an archaeologist, but it's, I don't know, a level of understanding in what's actually going on. Dispelling all of previous notions and showing this is the facts this is what archeology is. And what of the advantages of the field school is that the methods that the students learn in the Field School can be applied anywhere. If they go on to do archeology not in the United States but in Mesoamerica, Mesopotamia, wherever and so one of the things that we teach them is how to you use surveying instruments, or we call a total station or a electronic distance measurer EDM, how to precisely map a site topographically, how to layout and record the precise location of our excavation units. Any artifact that is 2.5 cm or greater in size is mapped precisely, exactly where it is found. They will put it in one of these sacks and they will record the site number the unit coordinates, the field number given to the artifact, there'll put their initials on the sack, the date they found it. So it's basically imparting to the students how very meticulous archaeologists can be in the field.

Hopewell Interaction Sphere

The Hopewell Exchange system began in the Ohio and Illinois river valleys about 300 BCE. The culture is referred to more as a system of interaction among a variety of societies than as a single society or culture. Hopewell trading networks were quite extensive, as has been found by the evidence of goods such as obsidian from the Yellowstone area, copper from Lake Superior, and shells from the Gulf Coast in locations distant from their origins.

Kansas City Hopewell

The Kansas City Hopewell period is divided by archaeologists into three phases based on radiocarbon dates and changes in projectile point styles and ceramic decoration.

Phase Dates
Trowbridge 1 - 250 CE
Kansas City 250 - 500 CE
Edwardsville 500 - 750 CE


The Kansas City Hopewell peoples grew a variety of domesticated plants, including squash and marsh elder. The majority of their diet seems to have come from wild resources such as seeds, nuts, deer, raccoon, and turkey. Their exploitation of the resources of the oak-hickory forest allowed them to establish permanent villages.[3]

The Renner Village Archeological Site in Riverside, Missouri is one of several sites near the junction of Line Creek and the Missouri River. The site contains Hopewell and Middle Mississippian remains. The Trowbridge site near Kansas City is close to the western limit of the Hopewell. "Hopewell"-style pottery and stone tools, typical of the Illinois and Ohio river valleys, are abundant at the Trowbridge site, and decorated Hopewell style pottery rarely appears further west.[4]

The Cloverdale archaeological site is situated at the mouth of a small valley that opens into the Missouri River Valley, near St.Joseph, Missouri. It is a multi-component site with Kansas City Hopewell (ca. 100 to 500 CE) and Steed Kisker (ca. 1200 CE) occupation.[5] After 500 CE until about 1000 CE, the (Late Woodland period), the Kansas City Hopewell culture changed and evolved into different cultures. The people of this period started to live in small hamlets with two to three families and began to rely on more on agriculture. These groups are the Central Plains Village culture known as the Steed-Kisker Phase.[6]
