WELLAND COUNTY, ONTARIO. 



BERTIE TOWNSHIP. 



* Site No. 109. A village is situated on the farm of Mr. Thomp- 



son near the Third Concession and the Gilmore Road. Refuse 

 heaps occur. It is undoubtedly Neuter. 



* Site No. 110. A village is situated on the main road from Fort 



Erie to Ridgeway, at the corner of the road leading to Rose 

 Hill. On it are several small refuse heaps, in which have 

 been found triangular points, clay pipes and potsherds, bone 

 awls, flint "saws", and a finely carved stone pipe. It is 

 undoubtedly a Neuter site. 



* Site No. 111. A village was situated on the river bank between 



the village of Fort Erie and the ruins of old Fort Brie. The 

 beach is one continuous refuse heap, in which occur points, 

 potsherds and a few bone articles. Pipes and stone axes 

 have been found on the terrace above, and a clay jar and a 

 beautiful stone effigy pipe were found there by Dr. A. L. 

 Benedict. This village is on the site of the quarry of chert, 

 and may have been not so much a village as a great, well- 

 established camping place for parties who came there for a 

 supply of chert. 



* Site No. 112. A village site and possibly a mound, occupy the 



point known as "Snake Hill", just beyond the ruins of old 

 Fort Erie. This is reported by Dr. H. U. Williams. Several 

 other sites not listed occur at Point Abino, Sherkston and 

 Port Colborne.
