Arrowhead or rock? Plus nice painted pottery shard too

[GreyGhost]

Here are some photos of what I think might be an arrowhead that I found today in southern Arizona.
I found it on the surface of the ground in an area that is littered with pottery shards for several acres of all shapes and kinds. There's also lots of flint flakes in the area too. I think at one point the place was either a village or a crossroads of sorts and it may have been a route down from the mountains to a wash that's nearby that might have once provided water.
The broken point on the "arrowhead" is a clean break, its not smooth and worked over like the rest of the edges.
The side profile is also a clear oval shape. If its just a rock its a very unique one at that.
Also attached is a picture of a very nice shard I found today too (Mimbres?). Its the only shard I found that was painted. All the others were plain red clay or just had rough parallel lines etched into the clay.

Looks like an artifact to me, not a rock. Nice piece of pottery too.

Nice GreyGhost. the rock looks worked to me, is painted pieces like that common in s.Arizona well preserverd jag ya got there.

That's the first pottery shard I've ever found that's been painted like that.
Everything else has usually just been plain red clay or plain on one side and crude parallel lines etched on the other.
So you guys pretty sure its an artifact? Looks worked to you?

Yep, no doubt that is a broken artifact! Nice find. I wish we had painted pottery like that over here in Georgia.

If you guys like the painted stuff here's a pic of a few more pieces I've found around southern Arizona along with some neat flint pieces.
The tiny white piece I think is the tip of an arrowhead.
I don't know if the large flint pieces are much of anything. Maybe they were "raw" flint used in trading that the indians would chisel down for arrowheads?

Can anyone ID the arrowhead like Paleo, Archaic etc.?

Can't tell by just the tip-nice pottery

Thank you.
I was wondering about the very first arrowhead I posted at the top of the page. What kind do you think it is?

Bump for any ideas on age/origin of the first point.
Thanks
