Glaciers covered the continent long before the Hopewell's established themselves.  Here's a visual of the glaciers from 120,000 years ago up to the present.

Mett Shippee & Dr. Walter Burks
This was a 90 second news story on Shippee's reflections on the Line Creek site.  Shippee discovered the scientific importance of both the Renner Site and Line Creek, respectively known as 23PL1 and 23PL2.   Shippee would pass away five years later on March 26, 1985 at the age of 89. Although Shippee taught several students who would become leading archaeologists, Shippee himself did not receive any degree in archaeology until shortly before his death when he got a very long over due honorary doctorate from Park College.
