    Interesting combination when found together... The flat piece looks like a preform (The start of an arrowhead). The round rock may have been the hammer that he was using to strike off the flakes.

    Morning,

    Yep...a preform or perhaps a turtleback skinner or scraper of some sort....the rock is a difficult call from a pic. Could be a hammerstone.

    Is there any polish on the white one, Like on the ends or sides? The round looks to me like a natural rock, but could be a hammerstone, any pecking on it?

    Nice finds.The top 1 definitely looks to be a skinner/scraper.The other looks like it might be a grinding stone. PALEO
