They didn't utilize large permanent dwellings because most of the year; as migratory hunter-gatherers, they were on the move following a seasonal round.
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.
