The Octagon Earthworks UNESCO World Heritage Site is one component of the much more extensive Newark Earthworks built by the Hopewell culture at around 300 CE. The Great Hopewell Road was a set of parallel earthen walls that framed a ceremonial avenue that extended from the octagonal enclosure for an undetermined distance to the southwest along an alignment that would lead directly to the center of the cluster of monumental Hopewell earthworks in the Sioto Valley nearly 100 km (60 miles) distant.
Brad Lepper is the Senior Archaeologist for the Ohio History Connection’s World Heritage Program. In addition, he has occasionally been a Visiting Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at Denison University. His primary areas of interest include North America’s Ice Age peoples, Ohio’s magnificent mounds and earthworks, and the history of Archaeology. Noteworthy research includes excavation of the Burning Tree mastodon and discovery of the Great Hopewell Road, featured in a documentary that was first broadcast on PBS in 1998.
