NYSAA Bulletin No. 107 — Dogan Point Archaeological Site — Passage 24

[Herbert C. Kraft et al. (1994)] product. A marked resemblance to this point is seen in a photograph of a fluted point from Lake Champlain, Vermont (Haviland 1981:34). While the material used in manufacture of the latter point was different, there are forma l similarities. The general shape, rubbed lower lateral edges, measurements, and a shallow concave base are compatible. Shallow base concavities are common in the Hudson-Lake Champlain areas. Pictures of fluted points from Debert, Nova 21 The Bulletin Table 1. Metric Attributes of Fluted and Dalton-like Points. Figure 3. Flax Mill Dalton point. Photograph by William J. O'Donnell. The double-spurred retouched-flake side-scraper's length is 73 mm, and it has a variable thickness from 4 to 14 mm (Figure 4).

There are two pressure-flaked cutting or scraping edges of 41 and 50 mm in length. Each spur extends 12 mm beyond the cutting edge. No evidence of pressure flaking exists on these utilized projections. The material used for this artifact is the same as used in the above points. This 50g scraper is typical Paleo-Indian, showing all the attributes of their unifacial manufacture. Scotia (MacDonald 1968 1985:177-181) and the Vail Site (Gramly 1982:101-107) show a much deeper basal concavity. Three Paleo-Indian projectile points were found on the William R. Putnam property near Saratoga Lake, New York. This site is 34 km (21 mi) west of the Flax Mill. Two of the points are indisputably Paleo-Indian.
