 List of Sites 



1 Earthwork on the north side of the Genesee. This is a circular 

 work on a hill overlooking the river, about 4^2 miles south of Port- 

 age above the first fall. This work was described by Reynolds in 

 the Bureau of Ethnology Report, 1890. It seems to be on lot 107, 

 in the town of Genesee Falls. A plan is given by Beauchamp in 

 his figure 83, the basis of which was furnished him by J. S. Minard. 

 Described by Fred Houghton, in the American Anthropologist, 

 Vol. 1 8, No. 4, Oct.-Dec. 1916. 



2 Mound near the earthwork in which interesting and important 

 relics have been found. The fort and mound are apparently on 

 the property of Dunns and Mills and the site is popularly known as 

 Fort Hill. 



3 Village site in Perry near the outlet of Silver lake. This was 

 probably the Seneca village of Gardeau. 



4 Village site in Warsaw on the S- B. Whitlock property. 



5 Village site east of Oatka on the headwaters of Warner creek. 



6 Fort site in the town of Bennington on the Barnum and 

 Cameron property near Cayuga creek, not far from the village of 

 Cowelsville. 



7 Village sites reported on the headwaters of Buffalo creek, near 

 Java village. 



8 Village site reported in Arcade, in the southwest corner on the 

 headwaters of Cattaraugus creek. This, perhaps, was one of the 

 trail settlements between Cattaraugus valley and the Wiscoy road 

 of the Genesee.
