Native American Relics
 I'm creating these
pages as a way to catalogue my collection and learn about point typology.
It's also the place where I'll be recording the notes I take while doing
research on ancient America. These points are not for sale though I am
occasionally interested in purchasing old collections especially if they are
personal finds. Personal recollections by the finder about the finding of the
artifacts are definitely of interest to me. Many times the story is more
interesting than the point itself.

Dalton's
Transitional Paleo to Early Archaic
Artifacts of the Early Archaic Period, Dalton
Complex, dating in the 9500 B.P. range. The Dalton Complex consists of a
group of similar Early Archaic points, each having it's own distribution
range, and several of these ranges overlap with one-another. The Dalton
point and it's varieties are found from the East Coast to the Rocky
Mountains and from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada. The Dalton Cluster includes
the Breckenridge, Colbert, Hardaway, Hardaway side-notched, Greenbrier,
Nansemond, Sloan, Meserve, Tallahassee, Vian Creek, Hemphill, Kisatchie and
the classic Dalton point. Because many are fluted, Daltons are are thought
to be direct descendants of the Clovis point.
