Adena is the name given by modern historians to a whole prehistoric culture, not a single tribe. One theory says that the Adena people came from Mexico, moved along the Mississippi river to the Ohio valley; others claim that they always lived in the Ohio valley area and later expanded into Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
The Adena culture was probably absorbed into the Hopewell culture around 700 AD.
The Adena came first then the Hopewell came after.

Adena and Hopewell
The Adena Indians inhabited the region of the Ohio River Valley, primarily during the Woodland period (circa 1000 BCE to 300 CE). The climate in this area was characterized by a temperate zone with distinct seasons, featuring warm summers and cold winters. This environment supported diverse flora and fauna, which allowed the Adena to engage in hunting, gathering, and early horticulture. The rich resources of the region played a crucial role in their development of complex societies and mound-building practices.
The Adena Indians mostly lived in circular or rectangular-shaped homes called "earthwork enclosures." These enclosures were made by constructing low earthen walls and incorporating wooden posts for support. Inside, these homes often had a central hearth for fire and were typically used for both living and burial purposes.
The Adena made pottery and had a thriving agricultural trade. They also had an in-depth network with people they traded with. They lived in the Ohio area.
