This study documents the contexts of platform pipe creation, distribution, and disposition at Illinois Havana Hopewell Tradition (50 BC to AD 200–250) sites to identify regional variation in Hopewell ceremonialism and exchange. We observe that the large deposits of stone pipes buried during communal rituals in the Scioto Valley and the continued influence of the Hopewell Sphere of Interaction have skewed archaeological interpretation. Aside from the several large deposits, pipes are limited in the Scioto Tradition and seldom found in habitation areas. In Illinois, pipe fabrication debris commonly occurs in habitation areas along with numerous examples of pipe repair and maintenance. Local pipestones—often from northern Illinois Sterling deposits—predominate, and exotic imported pipestones are unusual. Pipes are rare inclusions with individual burials as indicators of status, spiritual prowess, achievement, or group membership. The high value placed on pipes as communal sacra in Ohio and their value in Illinois as items of personal influence parallels their common occurrence in Illinois and their unique context in Ohio Hopewell. This study of the contexts of pipe manufacture and deposition reinforces current discussions of such artifact assemblages as important in documenting local variations in political, social, and religious mortuary ceremonialism across the “Hopewellian sphere.”

本研究记录了伊利诺伊州哈瓦那霍普韦尔传统（公元前 50 年至公元 200-250 年）站点的平台管道创建、分配和处置的背景，以确定霍普韦尔仪式和交流的区域差异。我们观察到，在 Scioto 山谷的公共仪式中埋藏的大量石管沉积物以及合和球相互作用的持续影响扭曲了考古学解释。除了几个大型矿床外，管道在 Scioto Tradition 中很有限，很少在居住区找到。在伊利诺伊州，管道制造碎片通常出现在居住区，以及许多管道维修和维护的例子。当地的管道石——通常来自伊利诺伊州北部的 Sterling 矿床——占主导地位，而异国情调的进口管道石并不常见。烟斗是罕见的内含物，个人墓葬作为地位、精神力量、成就或团体成员的指标。管道作为俄亥俄州的公共圣物的高价值以及它们在伊利诺伊州作为个人影响项目的价值与它们在伊利诺伊州的常见事件及其在俄亥俄州霍普韦尔的独特背景相似。这项对管道制造和沉积背景的研究加强了当前对此类人工制品组合的讨论，这些人工制品组合对于记录“霍普威尔派”范围内政治、社会和宗教太平间仪式的地方变化很重要。管道作为俄亥俄州的公共圣物的高价值以及它们在伊利诺伊州作为个人影响项目的价值与它们在伊利诺伊州的常见事件及其在俄亥俄州霍普韦尔的独特背景相似。这项对管道制造和沉积背景的研究加强了当前对此类人工制品组合的讨论，这些人工制品组合对于记录“霍普威尔派”范围内政治、社会和宗教太平间仪式的地方变化很重要。管道作为俄亥俄州的公共圣物的高价值以及它们在伊利诺伊州作为个人影响项目的价值与它们在伊利诺伊州的常见事件及其在俄亥俄州霍普韦尔的独特背景相似。这项对管道制造和沉积背景的研究加强了当前对此类人工制品组合的讨论，这些人工制品组合对于记录“霍普威尔派”范围内政治、社会和宗教太平间仪式的地方变化很重要。
