Point Peninsula Complex
The Point Peninsula Complex was an indigenous culture located in Ontario and New York from 600 BCE to 700 CE (during the Middle Woodland period). Point Peninsula ceramics were first introduced into Canada around 600 BCE then spread down into parts of New England around 200 BCE. Some time between 300 BCE and 1 CE Point Peninsula pottery first appeared in Maine, and "over the entire Maritime Peninsula." There is little evidence that it was derived from the earlier, thicker pottery, known as Vinette I, Adena Thick etc... Point Peninsula pottery represented a new kind of technology in North America and has also been called Vinette II. Compared to existing ceramics that were thicker and less decorated this new pottery has been characterized by "superior modeling of the clay with vessels being thinner, better fired and containing finer grit temper." It is not known for sure where this new pottery technology originated. The origin of this pottery is "somewhat of a problem." The people are thought to have been influenced by the Hopewell traditions of the Ohio River valley. This influence seems to have ended about 250 CE, after which they no longer practiced burial ceremonialism.
==Hopewell Interaction Sphere==
The Hopewell Exchange system began in the Ohio and Illinois River valleys about 300 BCE. The culture is referred to more as a system of interaction among a variety of societies than as a single society or culture. Hopewell trading networks were quite extensive, with obsidian from the Yellowstone area, copper from Lake Superior, and shells from the Gulf Coast. In some areas Point Peninsula people buried some of their dead in mortuary mounds. Interred with the dead were exotic grave goods, including copper and silver pan pipes, marine shell gorgets and exotic cherts. It has been suggested that the exotic goods among the burials provides evidence for inherited status differentiation among Point Peninsula groups.〔 Panpipes, which have been found in burial mounds from Florida to Minnesota, considered to be a diagnostic trait within the Hopewell inventory, appear suddenly in North America around 200 BCE,. then disappear as do certain other Hopewell traits, around 400 CE. Found mostly in the United States, nine panpipes curiously appear in the LeVesconte Mound, a Point Peninsula site located in Campbellford, Ontario. Though the Hopewell interaction sphere generally is confined to the United States much of the silver found in mound artifacts, such as panpipes, actually comes from Cobalt, Ontario, far up the Ottawa River.
