The first one looks to me like a stone tool.
Maybe a hand chopper or a knife.
Definitley altered by man.

Buzz!! and Au!! i think this very pretty artifact in first photo is a crescent knife not a point. Terry

 

[flintdigger]

The first piece is a knife, the second piece looks like some sort of chopper. Both are good looking pieces.

Sorry pics rnt the best. 1st piece darker 1 worked all around both sides. Think its a knife didnt want to say crescent but it has that shape. 2nd piece worked all around but only on 1 side uniface? Not sure if thats the rite term. It also has a hump in center of worked side reminds me of a turtle heard that on here before. I cant post picks from phone and hate bothering AU all the time. i have a few more pics i would like to share

Buzz!! do not be afraid to state what you think, you may be wrong, but when somebody hints or comes out and says you are wrong, you will learn something, get mad or upset and show it on the net and they will quiet responding to you, i think your # 2 photo is a knife or blade, i think they mean the same, and use them that way. your using uniface correctly is what let me respond to #2 photo. if when you start posting on your on if you would show both sides of the artifact, and include an american coin or ruller, i do not know what most people like but i like the coin, your choice eather way please incloud one of them for size refference.. these two things will help anyone to name your artifacts..
