Cole culture
Map of the Highbanks Park Earthworks built by Cole culture people
The Cole Culture (800-1300 CE) is a Late Woodland Period culture of Native American people from central Ohio.
Cole Culture people made flint tools and pottery.[1] They were agrarian and cultivated beans, maize, squash, and tobacco. Cole people buried their dead in subterranean graves instead of mounds.[2] They shared many traits with the Hopewell tradition and might be descended from them.[3] A major Cole Culture site is the Ufferman Site in Delaware County, Ohio.[1] Another is the Highbank Park Works, also in Delaware County, built between 800 and 1300 CE.
