==Name== Although the name of the culture originates from the earthworks site at [[Fort Ancient, Ohio]], this site is believed to have been built by the [[Ohio Hopewell]]ian people and only occupied later by the Fort Ancient culture. The site is on a hill above the [[Little Miami River]], close to [[Lebanon, Ohio]]. Despite the name of the site, most [[archaeologist]]s do not believe that Fort Ancient was used as a fortress by either the Ohio Hopewell culture or the Fort Ancient culture. It is believed to have been a ceremonial location.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Builders of the Mounds|url=http://www.spanishhill.com/whatis/MoundBuilderFortAncient.shtml|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120204032159/http://www.spanishhill.com/whatis/MoundBuilderFortAncient.shtml|archive-date=February 4, 2012|access-date=2008-09-12|work=Spanish Hill}}</ref>
