Known as the Early Woodland culture, they thrived in terms of agriculture, construction, and invention. This self-governing society was present during the prehistoric times of West Virginia and left no written record behind. Despite the limited linguistic access, preservation of the physical findings, such as the mounds and tools, have led researchers to develop a plethora of inferences regarding the Adena culture.The Early Woodland (Adena culture) first arrived in the Ohio Valley around 1,000 B.C. They settled in states known today as Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New York. (Weiser-Alexander, 2020). The Adena culture refers to more than just early Indians and relates more to societal groups that bonded over like-minded beliefs, similarities in architecture, and cultural practices.
