Rochester, N.Y. 18 THE BULLETIN THE PICKLE HILL SITE, WARREN COUNTY, NEW YORK* Paul L. Weinman Thomas P. Weinman Robert E. Funk Auringer-Seelye Chapter Auringer-Seelye Chapter Van Epps-Hartley Chapter Investigations by Paul and Thomas Weinman in 1965 and 1966 on a low, sandy knoll in a swampy valley 2 1/2 miles south of Dunhams Bay, Lake George, N. Y., have produced evidence of occupation by groups of the recently defined late Archaic River phase (Ritchie 1965: 124-131).
The site contributes important data on the northerly distribution of the culture, hitherto known only from the lower Mohawkmiddle Hudson Valleys. The site (plate 1) lies on a flat-topped rise, 1 1/2 acres in extent, composed of late-glacial outwash deposits, which is adjoined on the west by a large drumlin known as Pickle Hill. The occupied area covers about 1/2 acre on the northern end of the north south trending knoll, and is about 15" above, and 100 yds. from, the Pickle Hill Road which connects Bay and Ridge Roads. A small stream, beginning along the western edge of the rise, trickles into the Dunhams Bay outlet which is 1 mile to the north.
