The first one is the midsection of a base of a point. I know this cause that is usually what I find. Either one end or the other. The 2nd I cant really tell but looks to be another piece maybe the tip and no base. I really like hunting fields but there is so many broken ones it really hurts. Better luck next time and maybe you will find a whole one, rock

Looks a lot like debitage to me. I don't see anything that says they part of an artifact.

Thanks for the replies. If they are debitage pieces doesn't that mean that the may have still been handled by man? And if so does that qualify as an artifact? Just curious on how this type of thing is defined. Thanks.

Yes you are correct on the debitage. If ancient man made it then its a artifact.
