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.
