Garoga Site is an archaeological site located at Ephratah in Fulton County, New York. It is also known as Las-7, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation Unique Site No. A035-04-0001. It is one of three Mohawk Indian village sites excavated by archaeologist Robert E. Funk in 1969–1970.[2]
The site, dated to the 16th century, also known as Garogo, or Castle Hill, is "perched on a hilltop overlooking Caroga Creek." It was first excavated by Samuel Frey in the 1800s. William Ritchie and Robert Funk "identified a minimum of nine longhouses within the main village area and they also confirmed the location of a short double palisade that runs across the entrance to the village site."[3] They estimated that the village might have held 700 people.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
