[316] “... we found also two or three deer’s heads, one whereof had been newly killed, for it was still fresh. There was also a company of deer’s feet stuck up in the house, hart’s horns, and eagles’ claws, and sundry such like things there was; also two or three baskets full of parched acorns, pieces of fish, and a piece of a broiled herring”; MOURT’S RELATION, pp. 144-45.

[322] When Plimoth Plantation was established there were no Indians settlements in its immediate neighborhood. The former village of Patuxet, once located on the site of Plymouth and said to have had a population of two thousand, was wiped out by the plague prior to the settlement of Europeans. Altham, p. 29, reports that the nearest Indian settlement to Plymouth was called Manomet and was fourteen miles away. This is probably identical with the town of Mannamit, described by Chase as being in Sandwich, near the bottom of Buzzard’s Bay; H. E. Chase, “Notes on the Wampanoag Indians,” SMITHSONIAN ANNUAL REPORT, 1883 (Washington, 1885), p. 888.
