occupation is evidenced by the discovery of bone and sbcll ornaments 

 and Iroquoian pottery. 



/o Village site of the late colonial period on the Wadsworth prop- 

 erty, lot 41, town of Geneseo. This site lies along the Genesee river 

 and covers about 10 acres. Three small brooks run through it and 

 two mounds have been discovered lying just west of the Erie Rail- 

 road tracks. One is south of the Jones bridge road and the other 

 midway between a brook and the road on the north. 



71 Council house site on the east side of the river in the town of 

 Geneseo one-half of a mile from the village. 



72 Mounds, two in number, southwest of Geneseo on the Wads- 

 worth Big Tree farm. The first is about 40 feet in diameter and 4 

 feet high, and the second one-half of a mile to the southwest having 

 about the same diameter but its height has been much reduced for 

 cultivation. 



73 Stronghold or earthwork on the Wadsworth property in Gene- 

 seo, known as the Indian fort and reported by W. A. Brody of 

 Geneseo. 



74 Earthwork on lot 119 in Geneseo is reported by Mr Brody. 



75 Village site on lot 42, Geneseo. This is the Sweet Briar farm 

 2^2 miles from Geneseo and 60 or 70 rods south of the ridge leading 

 to Jones bridge. There are two parallel ravines through which 

 small creeks run ; precipitous banks are formed by these ravines 

 making the place favorable for a stronghold. This object is com- 

 pleted by an earth wall thrown across the land from ravine to ravine. 

 There appears to have been a ditch on each side of this wall. The 

 Bureau of Ethnology Report 1890-91 mentions two breastworks, 

 one of 93 feet and the other 87, leaving a space between each wall. 



76 Camps on the land south of this site, but the character of 

 relics has not been reported. Notched flints, celts, drills, scrapers, 

 fragments of steatite and long pestles have been found. The later 

 colonial Seneca occupation is evidenced by the presence of brass and 

 iron objects. 



77 Village site in Livonia on lot 13, at the foot of Conesus lake. 

 This site embraces a tract of about 25 acres south of a small stream 

 running into the west side of the lake. Slate objects, notched flints, 

 celts and long pestles have been found, but no clay pottery or 

 evidence of European occupation. 



78 Village site on lot 6 in the town of Livonia on the property 

 now owned by Jacob Tram. This site has received considerable 

 attention from archeologists and was known to E. G. Squier as the 

 General Adams farm site. Squier says that the occupied area covers
