Talk:Adena culture

message: i think it's great that you added the adena culture to wikipedia... i have long had an interest in local archaeology (in live in sw pennsylvania) and the adena and hopewell cultures are some of the most interesting. on a side note- do a google search for "octagon moonrise" that site has some interesting info about the celestial alignments of the newark, oh mounds (hopewell) - you'd probably be interested in it...
but there is no archaeological evidence, at least none that holds up under scrutiny, that ANY native american cultures (pre-columbian or not) had significant numbers of people that tall.  i am a member of the Society for Pa Archaeology and have participated in many discusssions on how this myth first developed.  most archaeologists believe that it simply lies in misinterpretations made by early archaeologists (from the late 1800s and early 1900s) based on the layout of the bones they would find.  and once stated in their findings, and embedded the conscience of those interested, well... those myths have persisted to this day.
so i would, if i were you, remove that portion of your entry.  it is simply wrong.   other than that, i liked the article. 
i always forget how to sign my responses.  if this doesn't work, my wikipedia name is "los diablos" - feel free to comment on my talk page.

message: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and it is inappropriate to give resources as "search Google". If you think that turns up useful material such as names of books, directly list the names of the books. This article can be reused in many different ways, not just as a Wikipedia web page. If the page is printed, or if someone can't use Google in China, but they have a library or a bookstore, the names of the books will still be useful. Also the results of a Google search can change radically over time, as their software and the web evolves; a search that works well today may not work so well in six months. Stop by the Help desk or the Village pump if you need further guidance. However, it is completely OK to put the Google hints on this Talk page to help other editors do more research.
Incidentally, don't expect much feedback from peer review now, since the article is far from ready for that level of scrutiny. --KSmrqT 21:22, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Hi. There seems to be a problem with the existance dates. It says the Adena culture existed from c. 1000 AD to 100 AD.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.100.48.231 (talk) 02:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Adena culture's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 21:24, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I noticed an inconsistency... the table entry for Grave Creek Mound claims it is "the largest conical-type burial mound in the United States." The entry for Miamisburg Mound says that it is the largest conical burial mound east of the Mississipi. Both mounds are east of the Mississipi. So one of the entries must be wrong. --Doppelbock (talk) 19:43, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The Adena culture extends farther into Pennsylvania than stated. It is possible that there was a mound in downtown Pittsburgh itself. Look up “the hump”.  Mckees Rocks definitely is well documented. 98.111.201.107 (talk) 10:35, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
