Dalton Nuckolls
Cluster: Dalton Cluster Description of Physical Characteristics and Flaking Pattern:
This is a medium auriculate point. The cross section may range from elliptical to flattened. The blade is primarily straight. The blade is commonly serrated and beveled. The waist has a shallow constriction which may create weak to absent shoulders and auricles. The base may range from slightly concave to deeply concave. Grinding is seen on the hafting area and basal grinding and flaking are common. Some basal flaking may give the appearance of fluting. The flaking pattern can vary from oblique transverse, horizontal transverse, collateral, or random.
Size Measurements:
Total Length - 40 to 120 mm, Width - 18 to 38 mm, Basal Concavity - 1 to 5 mm

Additional Comments:
It has been suggested that this may be a re-sharpened Dalton Greenbrier point.
This point has been reported into northern Florida by Bullen (1975). However, the examples he listed as Dalton Nuckolls were crudely made and it has been questioned if these are truly this type (Farr, 2006).
