THE ARCHEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF NEW YORK 607 



thought to be identical with the village attacked by Champlain in 

 1615. Gen. John S. Clark of Auburn first advanced this theory and 

 all evidence seems to support it. There is an irregular limestone 

 boulder on the site near the pond which may be one of the famous 

 Oneida stones, if not indeed the original. In 1850 a part of the 

 stockade was still standing in the swamp on the west side. The site 

 lies on low ground between two small streams, the inlet and outlet 

 to the shallow pond being not far apart on the same side of the 

 pond. The site does not cover a large area. Beauchamp estimates 

 the stockaded inclosure as about 500 by 700 feet. There was a 

 village site, however, outside the stronghold and east of the inlet. 

 The place had no natural defences other than its secluded location 

 on the hilltops over the Oneida basin. There are twenty-five or 

 thirty pits in the woods west of the site and several iron axes have 

 been found there. The relics found within the site itself are all 

 native and no European influence is shown. 



19 Village site near Wampsville in Lenox. There was an historic 

 Oneida settlement there. 



20 Village site of the Oneida was called Canowaraghere, or 

 Kanoalohale. It is the present Oneida Castle and was new in 1762, 

 the old castle being still retained. This was 12 miles from Oneida 

 lake, and a fort was built there. There were then two villages, one 

 being near the lake. The fort seems to have been east of the creek. 



21 Battleground on the hills directly south of Oneida Castle, and 

 2 or 3 miles distant, is a reputed battleground from the abundance 

 of arrowheads and which is probably a village site. 



22 Canaseraga was the principal Tuscarora town, but may not 

 at first have occupied the present site. In 1792 it was west of the 

 creek, and so many Oneida lived with the Tuscarora that it was 

 often called the Oneida town. There were many houses there 

 when the whites came, ten or more on the hill west of the creek. 



23 Burial sites on the Dunlap farm in the northeast part of Stock- 

 bridge. There are also graves on William Smith's farm (Hammond, 



P- 733)- 



24 Burial place in Stockbridge on the West road. There seems 

 also to have been a village. 



25 Village of the Oneida near Munnsville. This was the village 

 visited by the writer of Van Corlaer's Journal in 1634. 



26 Burial place on the William Sullivan estate near Valley Mills. 



27 Burial site reported by Doctor Beauchamp as northeast of 

 Munnsville and northwest of the Ellenwood house.
