Dutchess Quarry Cave Site, Ancient archaeological cave site in Goshen, United States.
The Dutchess Quarry Cave Site extends across 177 acres on Mount Lookout, featuring caves built into the side of a 580-foot hill.
Archaeological excavations in the 1960s revealed evidence of hunter-gatherer communities dating back 12,000 years during the last Ice Age period.
The discovery of a Paleo-Indian fluted point at the site provided essential information about early human settlements east of the Mississippi River.
The site maintains restricted access due to active quarrying operations by the Dutchess Quarry and Supply Company, which produces dolomite gravel.
Twenty acres of the total property have been designated as a protected preserve to safeguard the archaeological findings from mining activities.
