ABORIGINAL OCCUPATION OF NEW YORK 67 
I St Regis is on the boundary line on the St Lawrence; the 
inhabitants are mostly of Mohawk, Onondaga and Cayuga lineage. 
The band has been recently taken in by the Six Nations of New 
York to supply the place of the Mohawks. A burial mound on 
St Regis island was opened in 1818. The upper deposits of bones 
were well preserved. The lower ones were charred.—Squiecr, p. 15; 
Hough, p. 25 
2 Near this on the east bank of St Regis river another was after- 
ward opened.—Hough, p. 25 
Fulton county. 1 It is said that there were two Indian villages 
in Garoga before the revolution, one near Garoga and the other 
near Stink lake. Flint arrowheads, etc. were found.—Frothingham, 
p. 567 
2 A site of four acres on Indian hill in Ephrata is on an oblong 
and steep sandy hill east of Garoga creek. Originally the palisade 
holes could be seen, but not when the writer explored it after it 
had been long cleared. Mr S. L. Frey says that the pits from 
which the clay for pottery was taken, are abundant along the 
foot of the hill near the small stream on the east side. It is the 
oldest Mohawk site having pottery with human figures upon it, 
and one long brass bead has been found. It was well described 
by Mr Frey in the American naturalist in 1885, and was probably 
occupied about 1600. 
3 An early stockade of about the same date on the east bank 
of Cayadutta creek a mile north of Sammonsville, was found in 
1892. A trench across a ridge about 349 feet long, inclosed a 
triangle between two ravines. This was 369 feet long. Relics as 
in the last, even to the long brass bead. Fig. 34 is from R. A. 
Grider’s measurement and plan. One by Robert M. Hartley, 
in Popular science news, June 1896, is somewhat different. Area 
two and three fourths acres. Unio shells abundant. 
4 There are many arrowheads on Summer house point, and on 
Sacondaga Vly town of Broadalbin——Frothingham, p. 491 
Genesee county. The state museum has articles from this 
county early and recent. Mr Squier said there had been many 
interesting sites, but they were then hard to trace and some could 
not be defined.
