Brad Lepper, of the Ohio Historical Society Archaeology Blog, has written an interesting post connecting Guy Gibbon's recent book Archaeology of Minnesota: the prehistory of the upper Mississippi river region to the Hopewell Interaction Sphere in Ohio.
"The list of exotic raw materials found at Minnesota sites includes copper, Knife River flint, and obsidian. Although there is no specific mention of Ohio materials, such as Flint Ridge flint, being found in Minnesota, Ohio Hopewell sites definitely include artifacts crafted from Minnesota pipestone."
