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 paper reports the discovery of late Paleoindian period points at the Eaton site, Erie County, NY. The authors describe three Holocombe style and three Hi-lo style points found in two discreet locations on the site. They briefly discuss how the discovery of these point styles at Eaton impacts arguments for increased localization of point style in the late Paleoindian period in the Great Lakes region.

In 1979, archaeological field school students recovered a small lead object from a 2 m x 2 m excavation unit at the Eaton Site. The object remained in a bag of chert debitage until 1994 when its resemblance to a human incisor was noted. This paper briefly describes the historic components of the site, describes the object, and advances four hypotheses regarding its possible function.

Two aspects of the artifact assemblage at the Eaton Site in Western New York are examined. First, in what way and to what extent did extensive plowing affect the integrity of the site context? The data suggest that some important inferences can be made. This allows for the second discussion, regarding behavioral patterns. Distribution maps of ceramic and lithic cross-mends, along with post mold maps are used to study waste streams at Eaton, with several distinct lines of refuse disposal...

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.
