The correct answer is B) The Hopewell most likely traded with other cultures throughout North America.

Artifacts such as shark teeth and shells found inside Hopewell mounds tell us that the Hopewell most likely traded with other cultures throughout North America.

Historians affirm that the Hopewell inhabited the Ohio territory and some other Northeastern regions during the Middle Woodland Period around 100 BC. Archeologists excavated mounds found in the early 1800s. It is believed that they were hunters and traders. Archeologists consider that the Hopewell traveled long distances to trade with other tribes as far as the Great Lakes or even the Florida peninsula.
