ABORIGINAL OCCUPATION OF NEW YORK 135 
4 The only mound of which he knew was at Oneonta. 
5 Mr Halsey says that on the Susquehanna west of the mouth of 
the Charlotte river was an Indian orchard, and a mound on an 
adjacent island was called the grave of Kagatinga, a chief. Vetal 
Winn reports an early site of three or four acres in the angle 
made by the south side of the Charlotte river with the Susquehanna. 
Pottery is found there. Articles from this spot were in the fine 
collection destroyed in the burning of the Oneonta normal school. 
6 The ancient Unadilla was burned in 1778, and was at the junc- 
tion of the Unadilla with the Susquehanna on both sides of the 
river.— Sullivan, p. 23. It was inhabited in 1753 by Stockbridge 
Indians and was mentioned by the Rev. Gideon Hawley. 
7 “It is stated upon very good authority that an ancient earth- 
work once existed near Unadilla.”—Squier, p. 46. It is also stated 
that an Indian monument of a conical form Io feet high once 
stood in this town.—Barber, p. 447. Mr Halsey also mentions this, 
a mile below Unadilla on the north side of the river, as a heap of 
stones on which the Indians cast a stone as they passed. 
8 He says that there was also a mound in which relics were found, 
but which was probably natural, on the north side of the river. 
9g A rather large village with an apple orchard was at the mouth of 
Otego creek. Arrowheads and sinkers are found. 
10 A large site between Schenevus creek and the Susque- 
hanna river, reported by T. L. Bishop, is thought by him to have 
been Towanoendalough, the first Mohawk town on the Susquehanna, 
Wisited byaivey, Gideon lawley im, 1753. lt is near and -a little 
east of Colliersville. The prehistoric relics far outnumber the recent, 
so that there were at least two occupations. It is on the north side 
of Schenevus creek and covers from 10 to 15 acres. On the west 
_ side of the river arrowheads, hammer stones and flint chips occur. 
II A camp site is two miles north of Colliersville and east of the 
river. ‘Triangular arrowheads and broken and perfect earthenware 
are found. 
12 A recent site is one fourth mile south of Portlandville, east 
of the river. It has rude and early implements.
