Abstract

Through the use of literature records and new data, it was possible to compile a list of species of freshwater mussels that inhabited the upper Ohio River (Ohio River Mile [ORM] 0-300) around a thousand years ago. This information was derived from specimens found associated with Indian middens located along the banks of the Ohio.
