 found on the steep hillsides bounding the site as is the case at 

 so many other locations. A strong line of refuse heaps extends 

 from north to south parallel to the road and seems to mark the 

 stockade which, according to the plan made by E. J. Squier,

 and shell beads. Occasionally an iron axe is still plowed up. 

 Glass beads are very abundant. Mr. Bement, a local collector, 

 sold 2800 for twenty dollars and. he still has a great many. Mr. 

 Hopkins, another collector, has 3200 and two others have about 

 2000. All these have been found by walking over the ground
