and a fishing hamlet well provided with flat sinkers. An ordinary 
village site had early relics. A large site was found on the south 
side of Fish creek near the mouth, with a cemetery, and he reports 
another cemetery. 
2 Graves with European articles were found im 1891 near the 
shore of Oneida lake. A fort and burial place were two miles 
south of Oneida lake on Oneida creek of which the writer has 
often heard. Schoolcraft said that traces of the fort still existed. 
It was on the farm of James Sterling a little south of Oneida Valley, 
near the southeast angle of the lake. On the east side of the 
creek skeletons and recent relics occur. This may have been the 
village at the lake mentioned in Belletre’s expedition. 
3 Indians lived in Annsville quite recently. At the forks of 
Fish creek hearths were exposed by the washing of the banks and 
large potsherds were found three feet under ground. Stone im- 
plements occur in the town.—Jones, p. 82. The Oneidas held their 
annual fishing feast here in the spring, using hurdles.—Jones, p. 71 
4 W. S. Valiant reported many camps and relics as well as 
burial places in and about Rome. The finer relics do not appear, 
as the tide of early travel did not set that way. Some banks near 
Rome are of doubtful origin. 
5 Burial place of whites and Indians west of Fort Bull and south 
of the canal. 
6 Camps on Canada, Mud and Whittle’s creeks and on Brandy 
brook near Rome. Small sites are frequent and were explored by 
Mr Valiant.
