Mysteries and Monsters: Episode 396 Adena: The Mound Builders of the Ohio Valley with Jason Pentrail

Adena: Mound Builders of the Ohio Valley is a richly detailed, accessible exploration of one of North America’s earliest mound-building societies. Drawing on archaeology, early surveys, and modern research, this book traces the rise of the Adena people from scattered Woodland communities into a tradition defined by monumental earthworks, long-distance exchange networks, and complex ceremonial life.Joining us to discuss this fascinating topic is our good friend Jason PentrailJason's books can be found here: Jason's site is here: A big thank you to Jason for joining me today. Our Patreon is live, if you want to support the show and get Ad-Free episodes, bonus content, early release of the regular show and monthly prizes for everyone who signs up!Join now for $4 a month!You can also support the show by leaving a review to help spread the word.Don't forget, you can now show your support with our brand new Merchandise shop on Tee-Public!Click here for all the show merch!You can join us on Facebook and Instagram as well.You can also subscribe to our YouTube channel!Email us at [email protected] with any feedback, guest suggestions or if you'd like to appear.           All artwork by Dean Bestall and the show was produced by Brennan Storr of the Ghost Story Guys. Our theme music is kindly provided by the amazing Weary Pines, you can find them here:  Intro - Zombies Ate My Shotgun     Outro - Into The Night #JasonPentrail #America #Adena #Clovis #Hopewell #Mysteries #FirstNations #Tribal #History #Ohio #Archaeology #Pipes #Ceremony #Woodland #Mounds #Snake #Animism #Pacific #Chinese #Korean #Japanese
