Yep, some nice stone tools alright. There are a couple very nice blades in the group.
Its a bit hard to see in the photos but I belive I see some work on those. If you've had the chance to to see an entire assemblage of artifacts from a site there is almost always alot of crude expedient tools with just enough work to create an edge on a flake or cobble. I would definitely search that area more... you won't be able to date those pieces without something diagnostic like a projectile point. Put in some time there I'm sure you will find one. Something was being done there.. it could be a Kill sight or something more...good luck. It looks like a good spot.

Some type of point
It was going to be something. It appears to me that there is pressure flaking on it which is a finishing step. My guess is it was decided at a late stage that it wasn't going to turn out correct and it was utilized as a scraper. It has the shape and horizontal flaking pattern of a Texas type like the Eden.... where are you located?
I believe it is upside down in your pic. It looks like a base to a knife.

You have some nicely worked material! Looks like you have a couple of nice knives too. The one that looks like a point tip with concave notch, looks like it may have been used as a spokeshave. Good Luck on your next outing.
It is difficult to give an age on tools, but it is easier to age a point when the base is intact.
Very nice piece and your link didn't load but its ok thx for your advicehttp://www.Arrowheads.com/Pages/Searches/Eden
It appears to be a broken tip section of a projectile point/blade.
Its almost impossible to give a proper ID. on the tip of a broken point without more from the same site...or the base which is the most important part. But I would say that is a broken Scottsbluff or Eden Based on the shape And horizontal flaking. Both of those Are late paleo so that would be very old. The link gives a good description..
Also here is one of mine.
