PROJECT Uploaded by: William Engelbrecht

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...

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

DOCUMENT Full-Text Sharon Jenkins.

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
