Found this info from Florida natural museum. "
The smaller example, known as a Pinellas point, was the tip of an arrow—a true arrowhead—that was used after about 600 A.D., with the widespread adoption of bow and arrow technology.

These artifacts come from the type collection compiled in the 1950s and ’60s by Ripley Bullen"

Your points are definitely "arrowheads." I think he was referring to the big long Bolen posted by our friend muki. I would assume that it is a knife blade.

"projectile points", as in atlatl, or sometimes knives or other cutting tools. Projectile point is a much preferred way to classify.... I am coming from the standpoint of an archeologist or curator. You probably have this site saved... https://www.projectilepoints.net/
...notice while they use designations like "Kirk" they use descriptive language like "Side, Corner, and Basal Notched Points" to categorize.
