Several of the above accounts emphasize the statue of the Allegewi, even calling them giants. Accounts of giants even eight feet tall being dug up by Ohio farmers abound, but evidence is scanty. There is evidence that the mound-builders may have been unusually tall, as Don Dragoo relates in Mounds for the Dead.
Two outstanding traits have been noted repeatedly for [the Adena]. One is the protruding and massive chin often with prominent bilateral protrusions. The second trait is the large size of many of the males and some of the females. A male of six feet was common and some individuals approaching seven feet in height have been found … Not only were these Adena people tall, but also the massiveness of the bones indicates powerfully built individuals. The head was generally big with a large cranial capacity.
The site includes more neat stuff than this.
