Iroquois Burial Ground Fifteen Unearthed
Archaeologists from the State History Commission report excavations near the Sorenson property reveal 15 Iroquois burials with cremation traces and a possible nearby village. Earlier finds included a circular mound and evidence of funeral pyres, suggesting an extensive burial area linked to an earlier Indian settlement near Route 6. The Erie County Historical Society’s interest propelled further surveys as researchers note these remains may predate current settlements and indicate broader ancient occupation in the region.
