Finally!!. I actually got 3 points today even though they are on the crude side. But still a good day.
On the flint group all the pieces are worked some more than others. I just call it worked flint and the rim was a sweet find.
HH, rock

Good job Rock! That small wide gray one looks like a Brewerton style maybe? That rim pottery is cool as well.

You are correct it is sharpened to a nub. Believe it or not they liked it so much when it was past due for it being a point they actually put 2ndary flaking on the edges and then used it as a scraper. 1st point I have ever found that they used it like that other than a stemmer then turned to a scraper. I found it very interesting to say the least. So here is what I believe they are. Starting with the 2 in my hand.
From left to right. Mountain Fork 6000-2000 B.P.
2nd as you have said Brewerton 6000-4000 B.P.
3rd Putnam or a Archaic Knife. I say possible knife due to the tip being so rounded. Could be wrong but it wouldn't be the first time
