Found this morning on a 4 site 6 hour hunt, Found in a planted cornfield in Pike county I have been wanting to look in for years but it was always no tilled or in beans that were drilled. Also found 2 broken celts and a nice birdy along with several broken points on this ridge!! What kind of point is it and what kind of chert?

Can anyone post a picture of an Allen point? I have no idea what that is. A collector came to my home and said he was not sure it was a Clovis after looking at it, he said he thought it maybe a type of Dalton.

This is an Allen point found in Kansas. Note the oblique flaking.

The flake scars are a little hard to make out on your photos, however there appears to be no oblique flaking which rules out Allen as the type.

Thanks I guess that settles the Allen point theory. Still the question remains is it a Clovis? Help please!!

Made the last trip to the site today, corn is way too tall to see but a few feet. Did find a few pieces and I will post them later, but nothing really great. The surface hunting around here is about over till July when they turn up wheat fields or replant pasture ground.
