Clovis or Dalton

[Resakaye1321]

Hi I'm new to this site and have no idea what to do or how to do it....lol..I'm hoping to find some help identifying this. I found it recently in East Texas on a friend's property..to me it looks like a Clovis, but I've also been told it looks like a Dalton...I would love for someone with more knowledge about them to help identify it please!

Try posting on the North American Indian forum. Lot of knowledge there. Nice point!

Hi I'm new to this site...help identifying this...

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

2nd - Until a member pipes in - I am leaning to the possibility that it is an Indian Arrowhead...

Well someone is eventually ask for pictures of the back and the end of the base..

Nice find. I’d love to find something like that!!!

Hint: if you have an iPhone. There is a magnifying “glass” app that takes great sharp closeup photos.

I can see why those would be options but I don’t really see enough characteristics of either… while Clovis doesn’t have to be fluted they usually are, and your piece almost has a shoulder, there’s a change in geometry on the blade Clovis tend to have a continuous curve if that makes sense, daltons can have that straight-ish base and blade shape but most daltons would have a deeper base and better defined ears… I’m wondering if it’s not a different paleo-ish type or if it’s not a heavily resharpened point where the shoulders/barbs have been nearly erased

How can you tell from a single blurry photo? I did kind of ask for additional photos but no they were not forthcoming..

Painted? You’re funny.😁 That’s a piece of flint. It comes in many colors. To me it tends more towardsScottsbluff. Around 10,000 yrs old.
