DALTON POINT
This Dalton point was found several years ago on the Olive Branch site in southern Illinois. It was found in a cache of 13 similar Dalton points. This one is probably the best example. It has very uniform pressure flaking on both sides. The Early Archaic period in North America produced some of the best examples of pressure flaked spear and knife points ever found. All 13 Dalton points in this cache were made of white Burlington chert. |
