Western New York (Geographic Keyword)

DOCUMENT Full-Text William Engelbrecht.

Twelve seasons of work by archaeological field schools have resulted in the partial excavation of an Iroquoian village at the Eaton Site, located in western New York. One longhouse has been almost totally excavated and two others have been partially excavated. This paper reviews what is currently known about the site and presents information on the quantity and type of some of the artifacts recovered. It also looks at the distribution of some material relative to the excavated longhouses.

Selected Endscrapers

After seventeen field school excavations, the Eaton Site assemblage is ready to be examined more closely. One hundred sixty-two endscrapers found on the site were studied. Just what endscrapers were used for and the controversy surrounding hafting is discussed. In addition, data concerning variability and patterning in six areas of the site are reported. What this suggests for the site, as well as the potential impact of extensive plowing on the sample, are also discussed. Site maps showing...

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
