So these were found in a rock house I'm new to this so I been searching and I can't identify the arrowheads I found some that look kinda like the ones I found. I am pretty sure I know that the square rock was a grinder kind of tool. But the rest not sure any help would be great! 20210418_204137.webp20210419_124406.webp20210418_095256.webp20210412_035929.webp20210412_035736.webp20210412_035740.webp20210412_035802.webp20210412_035816.webp20210412_035806.webp

Oh I forgot I think the white one is a spear tip and the shaped flint might be a tool they used to make arrowheads?!?!
These were found on private land and I had permission from owner.

They wouldn't have used flint tools to make arrowheads. They'd use rocks like igneous rocks or sandstone to start and then finish the point using deer antler. Nice finds. You have a spot! Gary
 

Ok thank you any idea what that could of been if anything?
 

The point in the solo picture is a Kirk stemmed. In the group picture you have a magnificent square knife, a really interesting broken one (the white one. better pictures of it -- no white background -- would help) and some early to middle archaic points (the big one fire damaged).

projectilepoints.net is your go-to resource for identifying these.

The one rock might be a hammerstone. FWIW

Beautiful Square Knife! Nice finds. Not sure about the stones, whether hammer and (or) grinding stones.
Good serrations on the Kirk Stemmed!
 

I'd like to see a picture of the old rock house too!
 

Bear in mind though that square knives are notnecesszrily from the paleo era. Most aren't.
