ABORIGINAL OCCUPATION OF NEW YORK 105 
27 Tehondaloga, the lower Mohawk castle, was on the west side 
of Schoharie creek at its mouth—Morgan, p. 416. There was a 
modern village at Fort Hunter and relics occur all the way to 
Auriesville, with some graves. 
28 Gen. Clark thought Andagoron, the Bear castle of 1642, 
was on the south side of the river half way between Sprakers 
and Auriesville or two miles west of Fultonville. Mr Frey how- 
ever placed it at Fultonville in 1666. | 
29 On the north bank of the Mohawk at Amsterdam were paint- 
ings on the rocks mentioned by many writers. 
30 Four or five miles east of the first castle, a castle was pointed 
out on a hill on the south side of the river, where the Mohawks 
had lived in 1626. This was in 1635. This hill was east of the 
Schoharie creek and may be one on which is an angular earth- 
work described by W. Max Reid. Its character is doubtful. 
31 A cache of celts was reported by Isaac Swart north of 
the river and about two miles from the east line of the town of 
Amsterdam. 
32 A village was on the east side of Kauderback creek in Palatine 
and about 3 miles from the river. A quarry or deposit of flint 
chips was a mile south of this. 
33 A village near the west line of Mohawk was on the south 
side of Briggs’ creek. Another was north of this in the forks of 
Briggs and Wemple creeks. A prehistoric village was on the west 
side of Wemple creek and farther north than the last. 
34 A village was on the north side of the river, opposite the west 
line of Glen. 
35 A village on the east side of Martin’s creek was near the river. 
Another was two miles northwest of this. 
36 A village near Mill Point was west of Schoharie creek. These 
five sites were reported by G. W. Chapin, who gave more exact 
details of some others. 
Nassau county. 1 W. W. Tooker places a fort of the Marsapea- 
gues one and one half miles west of Amityville. Lodge sites extend 
westward to Bellmore.
