RESEARCHES AND TRANSACTIONS OF THE NEW YORK STATE ARCHEOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION MORGAN CHAPTER A Prehistoric Iroquoian Site ON THE REED FARM, RICHMOND MILLS, ONTARIO COUNTY, N. Y. BY ARTHUR C. PARKER Archeologist of the New York State Museum 卐 ROCHESTER, N. Y. PUBLISHED BY MORGAN CHAPTER Press of C. F. Milliken & Co., Canandaigua, New York FOREWORD The Morgan Chapter of the New York State Archeological Association is an aggregation of men and women who have banded themselves together to promote historical study and intelligent research covering artifacts, rites, customs, beliefs, and other phases of the lives of the aboriginal occupants of Western New York; to take necessary steps to preserve the mounds, ruins and other evidences of these people, and to cooperate with the State Association in effecting wider and clearer knowledge of New York State archeology. This monograph on the Richmond Mills site is the first publication by the Chapter, and will be followed by other publications from time to time, giving the history and illustrating the artifacts found on the various village sites. The next publication will cover in detail the Factory Hollow or Shattuck site, located in Ontario County. This site is later in age than the Richmond Mills site, and was occupied by the Seneca Indians at the time the white man made his appearance. The Chapter considers itself very fortunate in being able to present to the public its first publication from the pen of such an eminent scholar and scientist as Arthur C. Parker, State Archeologist.
