Nice group of artifacts C/A. The points are great. The creek has been to high here to get the kayak out. Thanks for posting.

I like the broken arrowhead that was reworked to perform some scraping chore or other. I have some similar..It makes sense when you needed a tool an arrow was always handy and if not the right shape! thanks for sharing

Wow Creek it looks like you have been raking 'em in. Very nice pieces. What is the piece in the 3rd pic called? I like the shape.

you did good for only three weeks,.... real nice pcs

that piece in the 3rd picture is a hafted scraper, there are two more along side of it in the first image
it is most likely not a re-worked point, they were made that way so they could be hafted to a short handle
grim has a whole bunch of them

If that were the case ther would be no barbs! Barbs hold an arrow in an animal. What function would that serve for a scraper! Break off the arrow and it becomes a handle. Besides the edge looks to have been worked to resharpen at least. On what do you base yor assumption other than having many examples of the same thing. If you have hafted scrapers the scraper could still have been originally made as an arrowhead.
