312 THE INDIAN OCCUPANCY 



mostly fish-bones. A few ungrooved celts have been found on 

 the site. 



In the graves the workmen found a large variety of 

 European articles. These were iron axes, brass kettles, glass 

 beads, and, they claimed, some nails, glass and broken mirrors. 

 With these were fiat points, a broken stone mortar, clay pipes, a 

 stone celt and broken clay kettles. An entire clay vessel was 

 found in a grave by a former lessee, but this has not been pre- 

 served . 



This site was occupied as late as 1840 by a few Senecas, 

 but originally it was probably one site of the Wenro village that 

 occupied site No. 7. 



* Site No. 9. A small site existed on Niagara Street at the mouth 



of Cornelius Creek. Pottery fragments and points are 

 reported to have been found there. It is now partly or 

 wholly obliterated.

* Site No. 10. A burial mound is reported to have existed on

Site No. 11. The Cayuga refugees who followed the Senecas in

 Creek. Their cemetery is near by.

Burial place No. 12. A cemetery existed on L,ot No. 8, about
