Excerpt from The Archeology of the Genesee Country There are two sites which Show evidences that they were inhabited during the first intercourse between Senecas and Europeans. One of these, the Tram site, persisted seemingly so short a time afterwards that European articles are rare. A second, the Factory Hollow site, seems to have persisted for some time thereafter, and European articles, while not abundant, are not rare. The appearance of European articles on these sites estab lishes an approximate date for their occupancy. The Tram Site must have been inhabited for several years before 1615, and for a few years thereafter, say from 1600 until 1620. The Factory Hollow site would have been occupied by Senecas for a few years before 1615 and until several years thereafter, say from 1610 until 1630. The Tram site occupies the crest of a long, high hill, between Lima and Livonia. It was originally enclosed by a palisade and was thus essentially a typical Seneca hill-top fortified town. Large areas of its surface are deeply covered by refuse earth. Graves were found and excavated there by Mr. Arthur C. Parker. These graves and the refuse have yielded a limited number of articles of European manufacture and a much larger quantity of primitive artifacts.
