Poked around for about an hour at one of our spots and turned up what seems to be a scraper and a hammerstone.

The piece in the first two pictures seems like it’s been worked on two edges and comes to a very sharp point.
The stone is very smooth except for the two corners that seem to have signs of impact and fits in your hand very nicely using either corner as a hammer tool.
What do you guys think?? Any input is much appreciated.

Looks like a hammer stone to me.

Not so sure the other piece isn't just a nice segment of another artifact type. It doesn't look like a scraper to me.

i don't think anyone will argue that one, someone used it to strike with for sure.
