Dalton Tradition

Dalton Tradition [CP].
Early Archaic hunter-gatherer cultural groupings resident in the southeastern part of North America in the period 8500–7000 BC. Characterized by a lithic assemblage containing DALTON POINTS, known sites include short-term living places or base camps with middens, a possible cemetery at Sloan, Arkansas, and kill sites or butchery places where a very limited range of tools such as points, knives, choppers, and hammerstones are found.
