Oak Hill #1
Summary
The Oak Hill #1 site is located in Minden, Montgomery County, New York. It includes the village and the adjacent cemetery. This site is important for understanding Mohawk epidemics and population decline in the second quarter of the seventeenth century. Starting in the 1920s the site was dug by Douglas Ayers. In the 1930s, it was dug by John Saunders, Gilbert Hagerty, and Harry Schoff. In 1983, the site was more extensively excavated by a combined team from the University at Albany and the State University College at Oneonta. They did not excavate burials like the previous excavations had done.
