ABORIGINAL OCCUPATION OF NEW YORK 1 33 



3 Bone hill was a burial place at Oswego Falls west of the river, 

 but was probably natural. Human bones were frequent there but 

 few were found when it was leveled. Around Lake Neatawantha 

 are scattered camps with arrowheads and a little pottery. 



4 A small early hamlet was on the west side of Oswego river a 

 mile south of Fulton. 



5 There was a hamlet of some size on the west side of the river, 

 less than a mile north of Hinmansville with arrowheads, pottery, and 

 cam.ps near the mouth of Ox creek. Nothing has been learned of a 

 fort on Ox creek mentioned by Squier though there were camps on 

 that stream. 



6 There was a circular work of less than an acre and with two 

 :gates on lot 24, Granby. This is on the hill east of South Granby 

 station, and what remains appears in fig. 71. The removal of 

 gravel has obliterated a considerable part of the work. The 

 diameter is 240 feet. The descriptions in Clark and Squier are 

 incorrect. Scarcely anything is found except a few fragments of 

 pottery. It was occupied a very short time. 



7 Another similar fort once existed on level land on_ lot 32. It 

 was occupied much longer and yields the usual reHcs. This also 

 lias been incorrectly described. 



8 There was a semicircular work on the east side of the river at 

 Oswego Falls. Supposing it once to have been circular, the 

 western side was removed in cutting the canal. Mr Clark says it 

 was about 10 rods across. This seems the fort which Squier men- 

 tions near Phillipsville. Probably only semicircular. 



9 There were camps on the Oneida river at Caughdenoy, where 

 the Onondagas and Oneidas had eel weirs, as well as elsewhere. 

 Early travelers described these. There were ' small camps toward 

 Brewerton. 



10 There were camps on the mainland and on the island in the 

 Oswego river at Phoenix, mostly early, though some are very 

 recent. It was a favorite fishing place and fine relics have been 

 found, many hundreds coming from the island. 



11 There were camps, hamlets and cemeteries at Brewerton, a 

 ^favorite early and recent resort. Harpoons and other bone articles
