[Louis A. Brennan et al. (1962)] The area is a gentle rolling plain, rising in a south westerly direction from the river bank which is approximately six feet above the river level. At the present time, the larger portion of the area is under intensive cultivatio n and excavation is impossible. A few sample holes have been dug in between seedings, but due to the nature of the soil, nothing definite was learned. In the early 1800's, the area was occupied by the Village of Whitehaven. A portion of the area has been under constant occupation since, and the rest of it has been under almost continuous cultivation. Thus, the soil has been completely disturbed and impregnated with white man's refuse for over a century. Should excavation be possible at some future date, it is doubtful if any of the early aboriginal occupation will be found undisturbed. Surface collecting has been done from this site for the past three years by the writer, and a large inventory of artifacts has been collected. The majority of the artifacts would appear to be from the Late Archaic and Early Woodland periods, 10 THE BULLETIN although a small quantity of artifacts representing the Iroquoian period were found also. White man's artifacts from the earliest occupation to the present are also very numerous. Some earlier collecting was done from this area by a Mr. Mark Reed, whose collection and notes may be found at the Buffalo Museum of Science.
