Lamoka people

Lamoka people

The Lamoka lake people were located in New York during the Mast Forest Late Archaic period. [http://archaeology.about.com/library/glossary/bldef_lamoka.htm source] They lived in small rectangular homes that weren't larger than 215 square feet. They didn't require large houses because most of the year, they were wandering looking for food.

The Lamoka used atlatls to hunt for the wildlife that was present in the area. This was mainly deer, turkey, and other small animals like squirrels and rabbits. They also had excellent fish hooks as well as spears and nets to catch fish and other aquatic animals.
