Residential site located on the Roeliff Jansen Kill, a small tributary along the east side of the Hudson River. It was excavated as part of Iroquois Pipeline Project in 1991-92. Forty-three features at the site include hearths, posts, pits, and middens--all thought to be from activities on the outskirts of the main village site. Occupation of this site extends from the Woodland to the Contact period, with the main focus dating from the Middle Woodland (Cassedy and Webb 1999:87). In their summary of the site, Cassedy and Webb (1999:87) report that: "thirty-two maize fragments were recovered from 8 separate features, including 25 cupules, 5 kernels, 1 glume, and 1 embryo."
