Point ids! Are these from the same time period?

They both could be Hanna's. the one on the left has a little more of a notch than most but not uncommon. here are a couple found north west of you.DSCN0845.webp
 

Thanks the reply! They seem very thin and the bases seem a little different. I'm sure there are lots of variations. Thanks for the ID!

I have looked at them again. but neither Hell Gap nor Rio Grande come to mind. A size reference would help. The one on the left could be a GB point type and if it was would be an Elko. But the distance seems a little out of the realm. Thou Elko's are found in Colorado most are found on the west side of the divide.
 

Here's a few more pics. Thanks for looking again._20160120_151139.webp

Try this link. It will help you ID Points. You can do it by region or by individual states. The Stemmed Point may be a Rio Grande or a Bajada. It looks similar to both. It also looks to have a wicked impact fracture to the tip. Not real sure on the other. Both are nice looking pieces though and some really nice material.

I would say the red one in the second photo was used as a knife.
 

Thanks for the link Grim. That will keep me busy for a while. I have the Over street guide and it is confusing! I am excited to get back to this area. It seems very old.
Thanks Old digger. I tend to think they used the tools however they needed them. Thanks for the posts.
