Chattahoochee Auriculated
AKA: Dalton ChattahoocheeDalton Variant / Collector Type
Cluster: Dalton Cluster
Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a medium (1 to 3 inches) auriculate lanceolate point with an elliptical cross section. The blade is primarily excurvate. Examples may vary from having an excurvate arch from tip to base, to having the tip curving in and flaring out towards the base. The base is concave with basal and hafting region grinding present along with basal thinning. The flaking pattern can vary from oblique transverse, horizontal transverse, collateral, or random.

Additional Comments:
This type can be confused with the Woodland period Santa Fe type. This type has basal thinning and grinding while the Santa Fe type lacks any hafting region grinding. The Marianne type described by Bullen has been identified as an exhausted Dalton Chattahoochee point (W18).
