[Various (1971)] This fact introduces a major point in my perspective of the Archaic cultures in New York, namely, that the most plausible explanation for this distributional picture of the Brewerton phase was the approximately concurrent presence in south-central New York of the Lamoka phase of the completely different narrow point tradition, which had its focus of dissemination somewhere south of this area. The chief route of entry into New York seems to have been via the Susquehanna and its tributaries, particularly the Chemung and Cohocton, leading northward to the smaller lakes of the Finger Lakes system-Lamoka, Waneta, Keuka, Canandaigua, Honeoye, Hemlock, Conesus-and the Genesee Valley. The principal markers for the Lamoka culture, the Lamoka type point (Ritchie 1961: 29-30) and what I have termed the beveled adz, clearly delineate this large core area (Ritchie 1965a: Figure 5). A large site with approximately 200 pit features, some 13 used as graves, has recently been under excavation near the Genesee River in Livingston County, by the Rochester Museum and Science Center, under the direction of Charles F. Hayes III. The Cole Gravel Pit site lies only 1.5 miles distant from the much smaller Woodchuck Hill site (Ritchie 1936) and has produced similar stone and bone artifacts referable to the Lamoka phase. Two radiocarbon dates on Cole site charcoal are 2012 B.C. ± 160 years (Y-2345) and 1922 B.C.
