Hardaway Dalton
Cluster: Dalton Cluster Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a thin small to medium auriculate lanceolate point with a flattened to elliptical cross section. The blade is primarily recurvate. The blade commonly narrows at the waist and expands out at the base creating ears. The base is concave with basal grinding and thinning is common. This point primarily has a random flaking pattern.
Size Measurements:
Total Length - 50 to 80 mm (average 60 mm), Width - 16 to 27 mm, Thickness - 5 to 8 mm
Total Length - 50 to 80 mm (average 60 mm), Width - 16 to 27 mm, Thickness - 5 to 8 mm
Commonly Utilized Material:
The primary type of material is based on location, but commonly used materials include quartz, quartzite, cherts, flints, felsite, and jasper.

Additional Comments:
Many argue that this is the intermediate point between the Dalton and the Hardaway types. Oliver (1999), feels that the first manifestation of the Hardaway type is the Hardaway Blade. He feel that the Hardaway Blade evolved into the Hardaway Dalton Type, followed by the Hardaway and then into the Palmer type.
