THE ARCHEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF NEW YORK 64I 



It was 150 feet square with blockhouses on two corners. It was 

 burned in 1779 but traces were found by the first settlers. The 

 stone graded way to the creek remains. 



36 A village was burned a mile farther south and another beyond 

 this. 



37 There are several burial places on the east side of the creek, 

 where the Onondagas lived from about 1720 to 1750. The relics 

 are mostly recent. 



38 Many early articles occur near the old arsenal on the east side 

 of the valley, lot 121, Onondaga. 



39 A small site on the Henderson farm, lot 161. This was an 

 early hamlet having pottery and arrowheads. Lodges were farther 

 south. 



40 Council house and village on the present reservation. Some 

 relics appear along Onondaga creek and in South Onondaga, but no 

 villages. 



41 There were no villages in Skaneateles but small camps and 

 occasional relics appear, some being of early types. One camp was 

 on the farm of Henry Moses, lot 20, 



42 Relics were frequent on R. Curtis's farm, lot 22.. 



43 There was quite a camp on the east side of a stream and south 

 of the direct road to Marcellus on lot 29. Early relics. 



44 A few articles have been found near Skaneateles village and 

 Mandana. 



45 The Deep Spring of early note is on the county line east of 

 Fayetteville. Tradition places a stockade there but there are no 

 traces of permanent occupation. Arrowheads and recent relics were 

 once frequent. 



46 Burials in a gravel bed on lot 42, De Witt, now East Syracuse. 

 Early relics were found in the twenty burials found here in 1878. 



47 Near the east line of the reservation and on lot 13, Lafayette, 

 was a recent village with an orchard. This was visited by John 

 Bartram in 1743 when it had ten lodges. The graves were very 

 regularly arranged (Clark, 2:270). 



48 There was a cemetery west of Butternut creek and about a 

 mile south of Jamesville in the same town. Recent relics. 



49 The stockade burned at Frontenac's invasion was on the Wat- 

 kins farm a mile south of Jamesville and east of the reservoir. This 

 was on lot 3, Lafayette, and the change in the town has occasioned 

 much confusion. Squier noted an account from the New York 

 magazine for 1792 and was led to place it in Cayuga county. It has 

 been described as two places, one in Pompey and the other in Lafay-
