Description
This
blanket
was
woven
of
unidentified
fine
brown
fiber
in a
repeating
pattern
. The
weft
double
row
crosses
the
warp
threads
every
13.6
mm
down
the
length
of the
blanket
.
Round
and
tubular
shell
beads
of
varying
light
colors
form
a
diagonal
diamond
pattern
across
the
top
of the
blanket
. The
pattern
is
arranged
with the
round
beads
in the
center
portion
and the
tubular
beads
at
both
end
portions
. The
largest
beads
form
the
corners
of the
diamond
pattern
in the
center
. The
fiber
part
of the
blanket
has been
reproduced
from a
small
portion
of the
original
prehistoric
blanket
that was
preserved
on a
copper
plate
.
Most
of the
beads
are
original
to the
prehistoric
blanket
(with
the
exception
of the
large
round
beads
in the
middle
portion)
and are
placed
in their
original
locations
on the
blanket
. The
original
piece
can
be
found
within
the
Ohio
Historical
Society's
collections
(A
3062/000201)
. This
piece
is
from
Hopewell
Culture
. In
Ohio
, the
Hopewell
Indians
(100
B.C.-A.D
.
500)
built
burial
mounds
and
large
earthen
enclosures
in
geometric
shapes
(circles
,
squares
, and
octagons)
to
mark
the
places
where
the
people
gathered
periodically
to
participate
in
many
social
and
ceremonial
events
.
Some
of these
sites
were
quite
large
-
the
Newark
Earthworks
complex
extends
over
a
4-square-mile
area
. The
Hopewell
people
also
maintained
a
large
trade
network
extending
as
far
as the
Rocky
Mountains
of
Wyoming
, the
Florida
coast
and
Appalachians
, and
northern
Lake
Superior
.
