[Louis A. Brennan et al. (1962)] The island, consisting of twenty-seven square miles of surface area, is fairly level and was undoubtedly created by the last ice age. The chief industry has been farming since the island was purchased by New York State from the Seneca Indians in 1815. At present, it is in a transitional state, from rural to suburban development. Very little archaeological research has been done on the island since Frederic Houghton of the Buffalo Historical Society did some work there in the early 1900's. Intensive field work by the writer in the last three years has revealed a large area on the island's eastern-most promontory that contains aboriginal artifacts. The area straddles Spicer Creek and is approximately one mile long, one quarter mile wide, paralleling the Niagara River's east branch. Inasmuch as heavy concentrations of artifacts were found on extreme opposite ends of the site, with the intervening area apparently deficient of the same, it was decided for the sake of clarification, to call the concentration on the southern border, Site #1, and the northern border, Site #2, with Spicer Creek as the dividing line. It is Site #1 that is the subject of this paper. Site #1 is bordered on the north by Spicer Creek, on the east by the East branch of the Niagara River, and on the south by a deep gully that runs in a south-westerly direction from the river bank.
