American Indian ceramic or colonial brick shards?

I found these along the banks of Lake Champlain in Vermont at an area occupied by the Abenaki and English and French Colonists. The water level is about a foot lower than normal. The ceramic looks sand tempered. It was scattered intermittently along the beach and nearby were pieces of chert debitage and what I think might be a chert flake scraper. I also found some 18th and 19th century pottery shards. I think the tooth is a deer molar. The chert next to the quarter has signs of retouching the edge. In the last photo, at the top, the two pieces of quartzite looked like flakes so I kept them, but they're likely just broken rock.

The shards in the first pic are definitely NA pottery. In the third pic, it's hard to tell for sure-could be a piece of old brick or two or all NA pottery.

The worked flint left of the quarter looks like it might be a flint for a large gun lock, Indian trade musket or perhaps British Brown Bess. Hard to say from the picture, but it's either a scraper or a gun flint IMHO.

I thought it could possibly be a gun flint, but it is thinner than most I've seen. Any idea on that tooth? I checked out deer molars and I'm not persuaded. It's not a canine's tooth, and doesn't look like an ungulate tooth or beaver tooth. Maybe a small black bear's tooth?
