If you will look at the two points illustrated in today's article, the overall outline of each one does not look like the other one. However, both are typical Dalton points. One point has a parallel shaped stem while the other has a concave stem with flaring ears on the base. If the sites of Sloan and Brand in Arkansas and the Big Eddy site in southwestern Missouri had not been successfully excavated, we would not know both types are typical Dalton points dating to the same time period. For instance at the Sloan site in Arkansas, the archeologists recovered just under 150 Dalton points and both types were equally represented. The same is true for the Dalton points found at the Brand site and at Big Eddy. However, the volume of any point type found at the Big Eddy site was considerably lower.

You caught me knapping...
I wondered what that clicking noise was.
Tap tap tap
Is this thing on?
Is taking a flint knap anything like taking a dirt nap?
You have to be sharper for the flint knap...
in the same vein
What’s the point?
or
what point are YOU trying to make?
or
Oh, get your point now....

Tough room.

Sounds like whole gangs of these Dalton points were found.
