314 THE INDIAN OCCUPANCY 



EAST HAMBURG. 



* Site No. 22. An extensive village site is situated at the junc- 

 tion of Smoke's Creek and a small unnamed branch, on 

 property owned by George Ellis and Charles Diemer, east of 

 Abbott Road and south of Benzinger Road. One of its 

 cemeteries was on the west side of Smoke's Creek, opposite 

 the village and another is on the Abbott Road on the crest 

 of the hill directly west of the village, at the side of the 

 electric railroad. 



On the surface of the site triangular points, scrapers, 

 potsherds, clay pipes and articles of bone are abundant, and 

 effigies of the wolf have been found. There are numerous 

 refuse heaps, some of which are still untouched. A large 

 one was excavated by the writer and Chas. S. Little. In 

 it were found articles of bone and antler, clay pipes, one in 

 the shape of a snake, many triangular points and scrapers, 

 much pottery, some scraps of sheet brass and a slender awl 

 made of rolled sheet brass. 



The first cemetery was destroyed by contractors who 

 dug out the gravel for ballast. Many clay vessels were 

 found but most were destroyed or lost. Some clay pipes 

 and an iron axe were saved. The second cemetery was 

 partly destroyed by contractors who used the gravel for 

 ballast. Many clay vessels and all the skeletons were de- 

 stroyed. Four clay kettles, some glass beads, a pipe, some 

 chert flakes, fragments of three iron knives and some brass 

 wire bracelets were saved by the writer. 



This was probably the last site occupied by the Wenroes 

 of the Buffalo group of sites.

 There are numerous very large refuse heaps, but its 

 cemetery has not been discovered. Some of the refuse heaps
