Misc. photos from excavations in 1982.

Misc. photos from the summer 1992 excavations.

The photos show bulldozing in 1967 when a portion of the site was destroyed. Marian White and Emil Liddell are shown looking at post molds. Cazenovia Creek near the site is also pictured. Some general procedures are illustrated including weighing fire-altered rock in a bucket. The weight of the bucket was added to the total and was a constant. A fine sheet filtered sunlight for photos.

Selected Endscrapers

This image shows the site topography and the 2 m x 2m excavation units. The outlines of 3 partially excavated longhouses are also shown along with a 5 row palisade in the north.

Miscellaneous shots of Feature 50. See the excavation report for 1995 for a description of this feature (pp.16-20).

Two grinding stones (metates)

Ground stone was tabulated by inferred function, not morphology. Grinding = grinding slabs and handstones (metates and manos) Pounding = hammerstones, mortars, pestles, anvils Chopping = celts, adzes Smoothing/sharpening = whetstones, abraders

Two photos: 1) gun flints and 2) their distribution.

For a number of summers, members of the Houghton Chapter of the New York State Archaeological Association (NYSAA) worked at Eaton on Saturdays under the direction of Bill Engelbrecht. They did this while the field school was in session, and often the field school finished units that the chapter started. The material from these excavations has been incorporated in the Buffalo State College collection. In the 1960's, the chapter dug south of where the field school dug (1975-2000) and that...

This image shows Madison points with a damaged base. Damage may be seen in the lower left.

This is possibly an antler hoe. It was hafted and the broad end is worn.

Rim Sherd Photos

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.

Misc. photos from 1975. Group photo, front row left to right: James Curran, Dennis Paray, Sam Corallo, Mary Bosseler, Engelbrecht, Jay Cohen. Second Row: ___? Maureen Doohan, Debra Holt, Flora Doraski, Betty Briggs, Rhonda Groell.

Selected Pipe Bowl Fragments: 0002 = E1272, 80N 5E L2 (low grade steatite); 0003 = E1086, 44N 9E, L1 (punctates); 0004 = E782, 8N 22W L1; 0006 = E905, 40N 1W L1 (punctates); 0007 = E5, 4S 18W L1 (faint incisions); 0008 = E1094, 58N 1W L1 (partial face - rotate 90 degrees); 0009 = E366, 8S 19E L2 (part of stem plus bowl); 0010 = E419, 26S 2W, depth = 25 cm.; 0012 = E228, 2N 28W, L2, depth = 22 cm.

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.

Miscellaneous Rim Sherds

A summary tabulation of biface fragments by unit.

Sumary tabulation of broken endscrapers by unit.

Summary of broken knives by unit.

This gives the frequency of broken scrapers by unit.

This table contains tabulations of core fragments by unit. Core fragments are defined here as chunks of chert at least 1 inch by .75 inch by .75 inch.

This table tabulates cores by units. Core fragments and exhausted cores are not considered here.

This table tabulates debris by unit. Debris counts do not include utilized flakes or other lithic tools. This table does not include debris from the "Extras" Table.

This table tabulates drills, awls, gravers, and burins by unit. These tools may be broken or whole. The broken tools are generally represented by the tip rather than the base.

This Access Table describes attributes of drills from the Eaton site. See "Drill Attribute List" (468910) for an explanation of the numbers.

This Access table lists attributes describing chipped stone perforators and gravers from the Eaton site. In addition to location, metrics and other attributes of individual specimens, it lists a Projection Index. This Index is the sum of the distal angle and the perimeter, either at 4 mm from the tip or the base of the projection, whichever is shorter. See Coding sheet for Eaton Chipped Stone Perforator and Gravers (tDAR id:497140)

ceramic data from the Eaton Site (western New York area)

This table tabulates exhausted cores by unit.

This listing of faunal data by unit was created by Marie Lorraine Pipes.

This table tabulates the weight in kilograms of fire altered rock by unit.

This table contains tabulation of ground stone chopping tools by unit. Tools include axes, adzes, and celts.

This table tabulates ground stone tools used for grinding by unit. This category includes grinding slabs/metates and handstones/manos.

This table tabulates ground stone tools used for pounding. This includes hammerstones, mortars, pestles, and anvils.

This table counts ground stone smoothing tools by unit. These tools include whetstones and abraders.

This table tabulates whole knives by unit. Broken knives are tabulated in a separate table.

This table describes 114 Madison Point refits (point tips, point mid-sections, point bases). One triple match was made between a point base, a mid-section, and a tip. A mid-section and tip formed a refit, as did 10 mid-sections with 10 bases. One hundred and two point bases were refit with tips.

This table tabulates multi-purpose tools by unit. Multi-purpose tools include at least two of the following functions: cutting, scraping, and/or drilling.

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.

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 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 project contains data from 17 seasons of excavation from the Eaton Site in West Seneca, NY just south of the city of Buffalo. It is a multi-component site that was occupied intermittently from late Paleo-Indian times through the early 19th century when it contained a cabin on what was then the Buffalo Creek Reservation. The bulk of material recovered from the site is from an Iroquoian village dating to the mid-sixteenth century. The major portions of three longhouses and a palisade...
