Fort Ancient is a major North American archaeological site and National Landmark featuring two outstanding prehistoric Indian cultures. The Hopewell Indians built 3 1/2 miles of earthworks on a bluff overlooking the Little Miami River as a social and ceremonial center. The Fort Ancient Indians built an agricultural settlement below the bluff and inside the earthworks.
