Abstract

The article analyzes a new ordering of Adena tablets based on an examination of the McKensie Tablet. It explores the origins of engraved Adena tablets from Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia. Also discussed are the association between refined Adena clay tablets and late Early Woodland to early Middle Woodland dates and the myths behind the inner, outer, and enfolded heads of the composite being on the McKensie Tablet.
