NYSAA Bulletin No. 107 — Dogan Point Archaeological Site — Passage 3
[Herbert C. Kraft et al. (1994)] York State Division for Historic Preservation site number is A029-25-0003. Other designations are Buf 2-4 and UB 221. The major component is an Iroquoian village believed to date to the mid-sixteenth century. No sixteenthcentury European trade material has been identified from this occupation. The Iroquoian inhabitants of the site are generally assumed to have been Erie, although there is the possibility that they were Akhrakvaeronon (Kahkwa) or even Wenro (Engelbrecht 1991). Late Archaic and Early Woodland projectile points as well as nineteenth-century material have also been recovered from the site. At the turn of the century, the Eaton and Schaub farms included portions of the site, which was plowed well into this century. Part of the northern portion of the site was destroyed by sand and gravel operations in 1967 and by the subsequent construction of a nearby business. In the early 1970s, the eastern portion was lost to the construction of a health-care facility. The Houghton Chapter of the New York State Archaeological Association began excavating the site in the 1960s with the encouragement of Professor Marian E. White. Erie Community College and the State University of New York at Buffalo also carried out some small-scale excavations on the site in the early 1970s, under the direction of Karen Noonan and Neal Trubowitz, respectively.
