Eaton

Part of: William Engelbrecht Resources

The Eaton Site, Buf 2-4, (a.k.a. A029-25-0003, UB 221) is located in West Seneca just south of Buffalo. The Iroquoian component dates to approximately A.D. 1550. The ceramics in this sample were studied in 1976, one year after Engelbrecht began field schools at Eaton (see the Eaton Project in tDAR).. Sample = 139 vessels (Houghton Chapter [NYSAA] =72, Buffalo State = 23, Gordon Schmahl = 18, Buffalo Museum of Science = 11, Buffalo Historical Society = 4). Internal provenience coded in columns 3 and 4: 00 = unknown, 01 = Buffalo State [1975 excavations], 02 = south midden, 03 = grid near south midden, 04 = bulldozed area (salvaged), 05 = around 120N - 95N (SUNY/Buffalo grid). Ten vessels (sherds) were also recorded from the NY State Museum at a later date but were not added to the digital file. The coding sheets for these are in a folder in the Buffalo State College Archives. This collection is part of the "Iroquoian Ceramic Project" and not part of the "Eaton Site" project, though it is the same site. These data were collected before the "Eaton Site" excavations began in 1975.

    DOCUMENT Full-Text Neil O'Donnell.

    Three longhouses were discovered at the Eaton site in western New York between 1975-2000. From the postmold evidence obtained, these structures resemble most Iroquoian longhouses constructed throughout Iroquoia. Yet, particular dimensions of the Eaton longhouse are collectively distinct. When compared to other western New York sites and the whole of Iroquoia, the longhouses suggest that some Iroquoian peoples utilized a standard longhouse design. The question is why would Iroquoian builders...
