Cool Archeological Digs! | Know Ohio

In Ohio, archeologists have conducted many digs to document early life and times.  In Sheffield, they unearthed an entire Native American homestead that is roughly 4000 years old.  At the Adena Mound in Chillicothe, a pipe was found.  It is believed to be an effigy (model) of an ancient American Indian.  The Adena pipe has been named the official state artifact of Ohio.
