The broken piece looks to be a Barber point maybe? The last point I believe is a darl blade. Need help in identifying if the round stone and flat stone were used in a grinding process. The flat rock has apparent grooves around each corner, with one side of the rock showing to have been worn down where the grooves are only faintly visible. Pretty interesting. Im thinking this was some sort of metate? These pieces were found near a campsite in central Texas

The broke point looks like what the Texas book calls an Angostura, The round stone was likely a hammer stone or pecking stone and is sometimes called a game stone. The celt looking pieces would be nice to see the profile of them. Not from Texas and someone may come along and give you better information.

What a Heart Breaker! Round one could be a hammer or even a round grinding ball. Next to last pic looks like a Celt but I would have to see the ends to know for sure. All nice finds

It obviously is Indiana artifacts. I could guess the round ball object could have been for a child's game. Best guess. But good find overall!
