The Adena culture saw the establishment of permanent settlements, social organization based on increased food production, and the construction of mounds for burials and ceremonies. Additionally, the growth of agriculture allowed for surplus food production, fostering trade networks and the development of specialized crafts within Adena communities.
The Adena were a sedentary culture, meaning they lived in permanent villages rather than being nomadic. They were known for their earthen mound constructions and engaged in agriculture as well as hunting and gathering.
The Adena were not very religious. Later as their culture grew they started to worship the sun. But that's about it.

Adena Culture
Adena were there first (800 B.C. - 200 A.D.). The Hopewell culture came later but overlapped with the Adena (200 B.C. - 400/500 A.D.). Most theories hold that the two intermixed peacefully, and the Hopewell culture was an elaboration and extension of the Adena mound-building culture. Thus the Hopewell art, burial ceremonies, etc were more flamboyant than that of the earlier and more primitive Adena.
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 Indians are a culture which dates back into prehistoric times. Very little is known about them outside of the archaeological findings which have been unearthed. No one is sure what language the ancient Adena people may have spoken.
