refugees from Totiakto upon their return to their desolated 

 country after Denonville had left it, or that it is the village of 

 Ganounata, marking the end of the movement of the village 

 starting at East Avon, on the Cleary farm, stopping at Lima 

 and terminating at the Dann farm in 1687. There seems much 

 to support the theory that this community when at Lima and at 

 the Dann farm was the village in which lived Onnencaritoui, 

 one of the "keepers of the western door" of the Iroquois 

 League.

The Lima Sites. 



An extensive village occupied the land where now stands 

 the Presbyterian church in the village of Lima. Many graves 

 have been opened there by workmen and others and relics from 

 some of these still remain in the collections of local archeol- 

 ogists. The site is about three miles southwest of the Dann 

 farm, on the western side of the same stream, Spring Brook. 



A cemetery exists about a mile north of Lima on the elec- 

 tric railway. This has been opened by workmen and others. 



Articles from the Lima sites are scattered amongst several 

 collections. The Genesee Valley Museum has some pipes from 

 the cemetery in Lima village. They are of clay and are 

 remarkable for their large size. Mr. Ray Dann has a clay jar 

 found in a grave in the cemetery north of Lima. 



The Factory Hollow Site. 



(Shattuck Site.) 



This occupies the high terrace overlooking the eastern bank 

 of Honeoye Creek, at the point known locally as "Factory Hol- 

 low", a half mile south of the "Old Genesee Road". It lies on 

 land formerly owned by Mason Shattuck, now owned by Mr. 

 Olm stead and by Mr. Hopkins. 



The valley wall of Honeoye Creek is here about one 

 hundred feet high and very steep. The village lay between 

 the edge of this escarpment and a narrow and deep gully which 

 at this point debouches into the Honeoye from the southeast at 

 a sharp angle. The triangular site was thus defended naturally 

 upon two sides. At its southern edge is a knoll known locally 

 as Fort Hill.
