4. There were villages about Phoenix of historic and prehistoric dates. One of the most important was on a small island, where over 1,500 flint implements have been collected; scrapers, flint and quartz arrows and knives, polished slate arrows, points, celts, gorgets, and bird totems abound.

7. A village site and cemetery occur at Caughdenoy, on the Oneida River. Arrows, gouges, and fine celts have been found.

8. At Brewerton are several village sites on either side of the Oneida River, near the lake. A noted burial-place is on the north side. These villages were both historic and prehistoric, and here the walls of old Fort Brewerton are still in good preservation. Arrows, pipes, celts, gorgets, and bird totems are met with here, and between this site and Caughdenoy two fine bayonet-shaped implements of slate were discovered.

9. On the Oneida Lake, at Good Harbor, fine arrow-points, stone tubes, and gouges have been found, and there are other localities beyond.
