Best point I have found in 5 Years. Dalton or Clovis??

[Buckhunter]

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?

Ran out to the site yesterday and found the base off of an super Graham cave point, of course it rained a ton last night so Thursday will see me there again!!

Go man!

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.

By the way, were you on the western bank of a creek when you found it?

Why does that matter?

Very nice point!!! Looks like a Allen to me.... Normally clovis points are fluted more

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.

Found on the last look at the Clovis site this morning and the other day.

I don't know what the center piece in the top picture was originally, but I'd bet it was spectacular.
