This table tabulates the distribution of notches (spokeshave scrapers). This category includes utilized flakes with a notch exhibiting use wear. These flakes were not tabulated in the Utilized Flake Table. See also "Distribution of Scraper Varieties."

These three photos show the palisade plan (5 rows), some actual post molds, and the relative spacing of the rows using flagging tape. In the latter photo the student is pointing north.

This pit feture was located inside a longhouse, along the side, probably under a bunk line. It contained a celt in the bottom, visible in this slide.

This table contains Madison point base counts by unit.

DATASET William Engelbrecht.

Observations on Madison point bases from Eaton. Shape (1 = straight, 2 = incurvate, 3 = excurvate, 4 = indeterminate). Width (mm). Ears (none = 0, 1 = yes [1 or 2]). Unifacial (0 = bifacial, 1 = largely unifacial). Symmetry (0 = symmetrical base, 1 = asymmetrical base [not broken], 2 = 1 broken corner, 3 = both corners broken, 4 = can't be determined). Use Wear ( none = 0, yes = 1, [may include grinding]). Basal grinding is listed in comments if use wear not clearly present.

This table tabulates point mid-sections by unit. Point mid-sections that fit with point bases or tips are tabulated here and again in the "Point Refit Table." These mid-sections are believed to be from Madison Points. See also "Distribution of Projectile Points and Projectile Point Fragments."

This table tabulates Madison Points by unit. It does not include refit points - see "Point Refit" table.

DATASET William Engelbrecht.

This table summarizes point tips by unit. The intention is to include just Madison Point tips, but it is possible that some non-Iroquoian point tips are included.

This report by Linda Scott Cummings and Caitlin A. Clark describes protein residues on 3 chert specimens from Eaton.One specimen did not react to weak antisera, one suggested the processing of both dog and rabbit, and the third suggested processing domestic goat.

This data set describes Madison point refitted bifaces and contains two more columns than the original Point Refit Table. The distance column measures the distance between refits in meters. The Context column records whether the refit is internal (1) or external (2). Internal refits are those within a defined area (i.e. longhouse) or between associated area (i.e. longhouse and associated midden). Internal can also refer to a refit of two pieces from undefined areas.External refers to a refit...

This article argues that Iroquoian endscrapers were used to scrape thick hides like bear, rather than thin hides like deer. For Tables and Figures, contact William Engelbrecht, engelbwe@gmail.com.

Eaton is a multicomponent site located in western New York. The major component consists of an Iroquoian village dating to the mid-sixteenth century. There is a high ratio of expedient lithic tools to debitage in the area of the palisade. We explore possible explanations for this distribution and discuss the implications for the construction and maintenance of a palisade.
