One of the interesting features of Jefferson county is the immense 

 amount of pottery found in fragmentary condition. Perhaps not 

 more than four complete vessels have been found in the region. 

 Complete pottery pipes are rare but a good many have been found, 

 perhaps four hundred in all. The greater abundance, however, are 

 found broken and with the parts missing. Several collectors have 

 restored pipes w^here the bowl was complete by using stems from 

 other pipes which fitted at the point of fracture.

1 Cache of stojie and flint blades found at the Narrows in 1837. 

 Furman says that the quantity was a wagon load. 



2 Camp site. "A barren sand hill in Brookl}n in 1826 was cov- 

 ered with vitrified and decomposed stones. From i^ to 4 feet 

 below the surface was a layer of ashes and cinders with broken clay 

 pipes, coarse pottery and arrowheads" (Furman, p. 98). 



3 Shell heaps. There are immense shell heaps at Canarsie or 

 Flatlands, and on Bergen island (Thompson, p. 66). 



4 Burial place in South Brooklyn found in 1897 on Avenue U, 

 and near Ryder's pond and Sheepshead Bay. " Deep beds of o}ster 

 shells had the outer side of the shells uppermost. Pottery was found 

 and over a dozen skeletons. There wxre a few other shells and 

 fragments of bone" (Amer. Arch., 1898). 



There is little recorded concerning the archeology of Kings county 

 the early erection of town and villages over its area soon blotting out 

 aboriginal traces. Without doubt, however, it was occupied in 

 nearly every part, and once was an important place of Indian travel 

 and traffic.
