112 INDIAN PATHS Westchester creek at the wide and shallow part of that waterway, now spanned by Westchester bridge, as this appears to have been the only practicable direction in which access could have been gained to the extensive district of Throgs neck. The old Throgs Neck road extending from the Westchester bridge is a natural line of travel, and passes directly to a site (102) on St Raymond's cemetery near the Eastern boulevard, where excavations for interments have from time to time disturbed shell-pits, indicating an Indian settlement. A trail could readily have been formed from this point, passing eastward over the upper part of Weir creek near the Town Dock road, which would lead to the site (12) of the Siwanoy village at the mouth of Weir creek (pi. x, xi). This ancient site is described in the publications of the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation. It is probable that several other places on Throgs neck were occupied by the natives, one being indicated by shells and stone
