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.

The Neo Indians lived in what is now Ohio, from 1000 B.C.E. to 1650 C.E. They are also know as the Mound Builders and there were two primary groups: Adena and Hopewell. The Adena lived from 1000 B.C.E. to 800 C.E. and the Hopewell lived from 300 BC to 800 AD.
The Adena, Hopewell, and Mississippian cultures were prehistoric Native American societies that thrived in North America. The Adena culture (circa 1000 BCE to 200 CE) is known for its burial mounds and earthworks in the Ohio Valley. The Hopewell culture (circa 200 BCE to 500 CE) succeeded the Adena, famous for its elaborate burial practices and extensive trade networks. The Mississippians (circa 800 CE to 1600 CE) developed complex chiefdoms, large urban centers like Cahokia, and sophisticated agricultural practices, marking a significant advancement in social organization and culture.
