BUFFALO. 



* Site No, 7. A large village site is situated on the property of 

 A. D. Strickler, between Buffum Street and Indian Church 

 Road at the City Dine. 



This is one of the best known sites in Western New 

 York. It was originally surrounded by an earthwork, which was 

 described and plotted by Mr. Squier, P. 51, and Fig. No. 1, Plate 

 No. 9, in his "Aboriginal Monuments of N. Y". It was accom- 

 panied by two burial places. One begun by the Senecas at about 

 1780, was subsequently used by the neighboring whites until 1892 

 when it was closed to burials and the bodies in it were removed. 

 The other belonged to an earlier people. It was situated on a 

 sandy knoll just east of the village site. It was excavated by the 

 writer. The bodies are now in the possession of the Buffalo 

 Society of Natural Sciences. 



It has extensive and numerous refuse heaps. A very 

 large one was excavated by the writer, others by Dr. A. D, 

 Benedict. 



On the surface, notched and triangular points, bone awls 

 and beads, and potsherds are abundant. In the refuse heaps, 

 only triangular points have been found. Artifacts of bone, antler 

 and shell, stone celts and clay pipes and potsherds are abundant. 

 No European articles have been found. 



In the graves of the early cemetery but two articles have 

 been found, namely two clay vessels. In the graves of the Seneca 

 cemetery some beaded work was found.
