About a week ago I posted about an as yet unidentified small bone tool and I've included a photo of it here. The other photos are of two more small and very well used bone tools that I found this morning. I don't know what purpose any of them may have had.

The small bone tool might be a trap trigger? I think
there is more of a specific name for them.

I do think WhiteCountyPaleo may be on the right track with the notched piece.

could be fish gorges which predate fishhooks. they were swallowed (thus the name gorge (from the french word for throat)). most were pointed at the ends and had a small notch in the middle for the string to attach. they were made of bone, shell, antler and stone. thanks for sharing.
