I found this curved item at a creek behind my son's home here in TN. I'm wondering if it is some type of Indian artifact? I found an arrowhead at the same creek about 4 months ago. The first 2 photos are of the front and back of the curved item I just found. The next 2 photos are of the front and back of the arrowhead I found about 4 months ago. Thanks for any information given.

The curved piece looks like a flake tool. They were handy for cutting, scraping, etc. A nice piece, made from pretty material.

Your second point is a dandy. It's been in the creek a while, but looking at the flaking and the stem it looks like it could be an Elk River point, or something related to it.

joshuaream is correct. I like that scraper. It looks like some nice material.
 
That curved scraper is faded/aged Horse Creek Chert, highly sought after...cool point too!
 
Thanks so much for all the answers and information! Interesting, I'm glad I kept it. I also found this little piece of something in the same place awhile back but wasn't sure if it was something to keep or not. Photos are of the front, back and tip. Any thoughts?

That is a natural stone in your last post--a geofact. Nothing like the beauties in your first post. Welcome.
