man that's a stout piece. very nice. boy that would hurt if stepped on barefoot!!

 

[Jonzer]

I'm pretty sure it is a re-work by later people.
Looking forward to input on that.

 

[Adena_man]

Nice!

 

[theviking]

Great piece! I'm guessing 3 or 4 inches?

 

[Jonzer]

It's only 2&7/8"
It's glued in a frame, sorry for the bad pic.
My friend found it in Bernadotte IL.
I always admired it.
He gave it to me before he died of cancer.

Why do you think it was reworked by later people? Looks like a very nice Sloan.

That thing looks absolutely deadly.

O'brien and Wood in "The Prehistory of Missouri" wrote quite a bit about why Dalton points with the same hafting design are found in different point forms. Of course it's all theory but it's a good read if you haven't read it.

Looks Sloan, a killer piece for sure.

Pardon my ignorance.
What does Sloan mean?
I just thought a later person found a broken Dalton and resharpened it into a drill.

Sloan is a site in Arkansas thought to be a Dalton cemetary.
