THE ARCHEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF NEW YORK 685 



24 A camp site is located on Harbor hill near Harbor brook and 

 Lafayette avenue. 



25 A camp site occurs near the junction of Bard avenue and 

 Clove road, at the foot of Nanyberry hill, just above Schoenian's 

 pond. Most of these sites are fully described in the Proceedings of 

 the Natural Science Association of Staten Island for January 10, 

 1903. 



26 A large camp site is back of Richmond in a clearing in the 

 woods near Ketchum's Mill pond, on Simonson's brook, where 

 grooved axes and other relics have been found. It is near Richmond 

 creek and distant from all other sites. The ground is hard, with 

 many boulders, as is the case at Silver lake, and no shells whatever 

 appear. Up to date, no pottery has been found ; but the writer has 

 never had an opportunity to examine the site thoroughly, as it has 

 never been plowed or feared of vegetation during his time. He has 

 found a few objects, however, and formerly a number were obtained 

 by others. 



27 A shell heap has been reported on the salt meadow near Lake's 

 mill. A search by the writer has led to the discovery of a few shells 

 on the meadow toward Giffords, which are apparently aboriginal. 

 No pottery or relics occur, but a few flint flakes are found. Appar- 

 ently, this is a " clam-drying " place. We have been shown and 

 have found a few arrow points in this vicinity, but they occurred 

 on higher ground. 



28 On Ward's hill, near Cebra avenue, many triangular so-called 

 " war-points " have been found in a small area. Such an abundance 

 of these war-points, so far from any known camp or village site, 

 is remarkable. 



St Lawrence County 

 List of Sites 



1 Village and fort southwest of the railroad bridge at Racquette 

 river. The earthwork was an irregular inclosure with an open side 

 toward the river. It seems to have been the place for a stockade. 

 There was a deep ditch surrounding the wall. Doctor Beauchamp 

 figures this site as 91 in his aboriginal occupation. 



2 Burial site in the town of Massena on Long Sault island, on 

 the property of the St Lawrence Power and Development Company. 



3 Fort site, a mile southwest of Massena on a hill overlooking the 

 Racquette river. 



4 Village site at east end of Long Sault island. An abundance of 

 pottery has been reported from this place and graves have been dis- 

 covered.
