ABORIGINAL OCCUPATION OF NEW YORK 81 
He said, “It corresponded in situation and appearance with many 
others which I have seen in this part of the country and which seem 
to bear a high antiquity.”—Squer, p. 61. On the west side of 
Genesee river, nearly opposite Avon springs, was Canawaugus the 
birthplace of Cornplanter. Iron axes, flint arrowheads and stone 
hammers are found there —Doty, p. 75. There was a work in Avon 
on the flats of the Genesee; and not far from Avon springs, described 
by W. H. C. Hosmer.—Squier, p. 61. An inclosure on the flats 30 
rods north of the residence of the late Col. Jones.—Doty, p. 75 
4 A similar work existed in the northeast part of Avon about two 
and one half miles from the village of Lima.—Squier, p. 61. This 
would be northwest of Lima and close to the town line. 
5 W. L. Hildburgh reports a cemetery two and one half miles 
north of Lima with European articles. This or one nearer Honeoye 
Falls seems the Keinthe of Greenhalgh or the Gandachiragou of the 
Jesuits. 
6 Sgahisgaaah, a recent Seneca village, was at Lima. European 
articles are found. “There were traces of an old fortification on the 
ridge where the Indian village had been located, the west end of the 
ditch crossing the present highway on the ridge, a short distance 
west of the center of the modern village, and remained visible for 
several years after 1798.’—Doty, p. 100-2. A separate site, but 
perhaps belonging to this, is a cemetery a mile north of Lima vil- 
lage where hatchets and knives occur with skeletons. Some skele- 
tons were found here in 1822, with earthen pots in their laps filled 
with squirrel bones and corn. Reported by Mr Reynolds who took 
his account from Doty. Of the first site, the latter says that the 
pipes had human faces, deer and other heads. This is supposed by 
some to be Greenhalgh’s Keinthe of 1677. Squier says that the 
cemetery was large and partly covered by the present village. 
Raymond Dann describes a village on the electric road, half way 
between Honeoye Falls and Lima. The cemetery was on a knoll 
rising from a swamp. The relics are modern, but include an un- 
usual number of discoidal beads. A place west of this is called Fort 
Hill, and has modern relics in small numbers. 
7 There was a stockade in Livonia two miles northeast of Livonia 
village, perhaps of later date than that on Boughton hill. It was
