Crude Chopper maybe. Core from which flints was removed to make other tools? Hard to say for sure from the pics. Looks like a nice material though.

It is nice looking material.. the first one....I think its just a reduction flake though.
It appears to show flake scars from previous strikes to the mother stone...I don't see an purposely placed flakes removed from the first one for sure.
Just one of many removed to get rid of the cortex..the others Mabey a quick made scraper type tool. I.M.O.

They are Early Man tools. Early Archaic and before used those often for their every day uses. When I first saw them I thought they looked allot like the ones I find. Except mine are made from a different Lithic. If you dont want them I will take them off your hands. Keep me in mind, lol

Those look like artifact/lithics. You will need to find a worked point to identify the source.

I do like the term "early man tools" though.
