Nicholls Mound is an example of a Hopewell site in Wisconsin. When archaeologists from the Milwaukee Public Museum excavated the mound in the late 1920 – 1930’s they discovered a burial tomb dug into the ground and covered with logs. A 12 foot high mound was built over the tomb. The tomb contained several individuals who were buried with ceremonial items made from exotic materials. Some of the items included large stone knives over 6 inches long made of obsidian from the Rocky Mountains, copper ear spools, 6 copper axes, marine shell beads, and 20 freshwater pearl beads.
The materials from which many of these artifacts were made were not available locally, and some originate hundreds of miles away. For example, black volcanic glass “obsidian” outcrops in the Yellowstone area of northwestern Wyoming, yet chipped artifacts of this material was included in Hopewell tombs. Copper comes from Lake Superior, mica from the Appalachian Mountains, and marine shell from salt water oceans."
