ABORIGINAL OCCUPATION OF NEW YORK I05 



27 Tehondaloga, the lower Mohawk castle, was on the west side 

 of Schoharie creek at its mouth. — Morgan, p. 416. There was a 

 modern village at Fort Hunter and relics occur all the way to 

 Auriesville, with some graves. 



28 Gen. Clark thought Andagoron, the Bear castle of 1642, 

 was on the south side of the river half way between Sprakers 

 and Auriesville or two miles west of Fultonville. Mr Frey how- 

 ever placed it at Fultonville in 1666. 



29 On the north bank of the Mohawk at Amsterdam were paint- 

 ings on the rocks mentioned by many writers. 



30 Four or five miles east of the first castle, a castle was pointed 

 out on a hill on the south side of the river, where the Mohawks 

 had lived in 1626. This was in 1635. This hill was east of the 

 Schoharie creek and may be one on which is an angular earth- 

 work described by W. Max Reid. Its character is doubtful. 



31 A cache of celts^ was reported by Isaac Swart north of 

 the river and about two miles from the east line of the town of 

 Amsterdam. 



32 A village was on the east side of Kauderback creek in Palatine 

 and about 3 miles from the river. A quarry or deposit of flint 

 chips was a mile south of this. 



33 A village near the west line of Mohawk was on the south 

 side of Briggs' creek. Another was north of this in the forks of 

 Briggs and Wemple creeks. A prehistoric village was on the west 

 side of Wemple creek and farther north than the last. 



34 A village was on the north side of the river, opposite the west 

 line of Glen. 



35 A village on the east side of Martin's creek was near the river. 

 Another was two miles northwest of this. 



36 A village near Mill Point was west of Schoharie creek. These 

 five sites were reported by G. W. Chapin, who gave more exact 

 details of some others. 



Nassau county, i W. W. Tooker places a fort of the Marsapea- 

 gues one and one half miles west of Amityville. Lodge sites extend " 

 westward to Bellmore.
