Definition of adena culture in English English dictionary

Culture of various communities of ancient North American Indians who occupied the middle Ohio River valley 500 BC-AD 100. The Adena usually lived in villages containing circular houses constructed of poles and bark. They subsisted by hunting, fishing, and gathering wild plant foods, and they used a variety of stone tools and simple pottery. Adena ornaments of copper, mica, and seashells indicate trade with faraway peoples. See also Woodland culture
