THE ARCHEOLOCKAL IIJSTORV OF NEW \()\<K 54I 



7 On the cast side of the Chenango 4 miles south of Oxford on 

 i'adget's brook, were twenty-live distinct old embankments adjacent 

 to one another. There were also traces of graves nearby, lined 

 above and below with cobblestones. The upper stratum of these 

 had fallen in (Hist. Mag., 1873, p. 13). R. E. Van Valkenburg of 

 Mount Upton believes there are evidences of a fort at this site. 



8 Burial mound in the township of Greene about 2 miles below^ 

 the bridge and 30 rods from the river near the mouth of Geneganstlet 

 creek. The mound was circular and w^as originally 6 feet high and 

 40 feet in diameter. It was opened in 1829 and human bones were 

 found. Beneath them were others which had been burned. It was 

 not an orderly burial, and '' the bones crumbled on being exposed." 

 In one part were about two hundred yellow and black jasper arrow- 

 heads, and sixty more in another place. "Also a silver band or ring 

 about 2 inches in diameter, wide but thin and with what appeared 

 to be the remains of a reed pipe within it. A number of stone 

 gouges or chisels of different shapes, and a piece of mica cut in the 

 form of a heart, the border much decayed and the laminae separated, 

 v/ere also discovered" (Wilkinson). This account is quoted by 

 many. Much of the material discovered was a secondary and in- 

 trusive burial. The location at present is on lot 45 in the Chenango 

 triangle on the L. A. Cross farm.
