The Adena Mound is a Native American mound site on the grounds of the Adena Mansion, for which it is named, near Chillicothe, Ohio. The mound is the type site for the Adena culture of prehistoric mound builders. Carbon dating of artifacts from the mound places its construction between 100 B.C. and 40 A.D. William C. Mills, Ohio's state curator of archaeology, excavated the mound in 1901; before the excavation, it was 26 feet (7.9 m) tall. Artifacts found in the mound include the Adena Pipe, later designated Ohio's state artifact, as well as jewelry, projectile points, and textiles.[2][3]
The site was listed in the National Register on June 5, 1975.[1]
