 occu})ied from remote times and there are numerous sites of camps, 

 villages and burial sites throughout its limits. It is impossible to 

 enumerate all the sites in this county. Many earlier sites which have 

 been investigated are those which yield implements similar to those 

 termed Eskimoan. Sites of this kind are found principall}' along 

 sloping hillsides of creek valleys. 



The next known occupation is one that yields large notched 

 flints and soapstone fragments. Sites of this kind merge into others 

 within which are found polished stone implements such as gorgets, 

 celts and grooved axes. Occasionally rude pottery is found. In 

 examining sites of this occupation, especially through the Cattarau-

 of Conewango and the Allegheny, it would appear that the earliest 

 occui)ants to leave definite traces of village life were branches of the 

 Algonkian family. 



A third phase of culture and occupation is indicated by sites upon
