[Herbert C. Kraft et al. (1994)] In Memorium: Kenneth E. Kidd (1906-1994) David M. Pendergast, Charles F. Hayes III 49 The Eaton Site: Preliminary Analysis of the Iroquoian Component William Engelbrecht, Houghton Chapter, Buffalo State College 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. (Pierce 1979) for some of the historical background presented in this paper. In 1975, I directed an archaeological field school on the site for Buffalo State College, the first of twelve such field schools to date. Six of these field schools (19811984, 1992, 1993) were run as joint SUNY Buffalo and Buffalo State College classes. Field-school participants, in conjunction with Houghton Chapter members, have excavated a total of 194 2.00 m x 2.00 m units since 1975. After each field season, a report has been issued describing the units excavated and tabulating material recovered. These reports have had a limited distribution.
