- BeFv-1, McKeown: Stewart's faunal analysis focused on three of the 23 longhouses discovered at this palisaded St. Lawrence Iroquois village. House 13 is believed to be the earliest of the three and was dismantled prior to construction of House 10. House 2 is the youngest of the three, and its occupancy may have been partly coeval with the use of House 10. All three are thought to date to the first half of the sixteenth century. Gordon Watson obtained a radiocarbon date on a pottery encrustation removed from the inside of a complete vessel from this site. The date is somewhat older than the estimated age, possibly due to the use of ancient fuel or possibly due to contaminants introduced when a replica was made by casting. Pendergast (1993) reports 13 dates run on charcoal.
