have been excavated by Messrs. Charles and Ernest Sim- 

 mons, who have preserved the remains found, and who hold 

 a long lease on the site. 



In the refuse heaps are found triangular points, pot- 

 sherds, numerous clay and stone pipes, and bone articles of 

 a large variety. In one midden was found a bone image of 

 a man. In another broken and charred human bones were 

 found, indicating a cannibal feast. A finger ring made of 

 brass wire is the only European article discovered. 



This is probably the most recent site of the Wenro 

 village, which was situated at Elma. 



* Site No. 24. A large village site is to be found on the high 



terrace on the property of Mr. Mullin, on L,ot No. 7, just 

 east of the Creek Road. 



There are numerous refuse heaps, but no cemetery has 

 been discovered. No excavating has been done, but on the 

 surface of the site were found triangular points, stone axes, 

 bone awls and a bone "dagger", perforated teeth and a large 

 iron axe, one half the edge of which has been bent back. 



This site was found and reported by Charles Simmons. 



This was probably one of the sites of the Wenro village 

 which was situated at Elma. 



* Site No. 25. A rather large village site exists on the property 



of Mr. Hopper, on a high bank on the west side of Buffalo 

 Creek, on Lot No. 18. 



There are numerous refuse heaps. No cemetery has 

 been found, though graves of Senecas dating from after 1780 

 are known to exist. A chief named "Fish Kettle" or "Big 

 Kettle' ' is buried there. 



Triangular points, flint flakes, potsherds and stone axes 

 are found. 



Reported by Charles Simmons. 



* Site No. 26. A Seneca cemetery is to be found on the prop- 



erty of Mr. Tolsma, on the east side of Buffalo Creek, on 

 Lot No. 11. It dates back to the Seneca occupancy after 

 1780. Indians have been said to have visited this cemetery 

 within a few years.
