Nice. Love the last one. Intact points are hard to find. Do you know the material made from and approximate period? The arch on the bottom is throwing me.

I profess my ignorance up front. What is the top one used for...skinning blade? Sweet finds. I am usually happy to find flint chips.

The pit I am working in dredges the river and they are floated down stream. I think it was originally going to be a spear head. You can see the indent where they started it on the end. My guess they broke the tip and turned it into a scraper. We were standing by the pickup and they had a berm of screened material and I said to the guy next to me "that looks worked" and sure enough.

Hello,
The first piece is an Adze. If you look closely at the ends, one will have a slight curve to it and maybe some polish from wood working. The basal-notched piece is a Calf Creek (5,400 - 4,500 B.P.) and was used as a knife blade. Sorry, not sure on the type of chert.
All the best, Michael

B.P. stands for Before Present. So that's the age range in years before present for that type of knife.
