The Dalton Arrowhead, created during the Early Archaic period (10,000–9,000 BC), stands out as a unique projectile point found primarily in the southeastern United States, including Tennessee. Specifically, early hunters crafted its narrow, lance-shaped design with finely flaked edges using flint or similar stone. Additionally, they shaped its slightly concave base to ensure it could attach securely to a shaft. As a result, these hunters were able to use Dalton points effectively to target both large game like megafauna and smaller animals. Consequently, these points reflect a significant shift toward specialized hunting techniques. Ultimately, Dalton points highlight the remarkable technological and cultural advancements of this period.
