3 brokes and one probably not artifact....whatcha think?

Finally the snow is going away and the ice is clearing off the creeks. Found 3 brokes and one maybe. The big brown chert leaf shaped piece may be just a rock...can't tell. When I picked it up I really thought it was an artifact but the more I look at it the less sure I am.

The brown chert piece is definitely an artifact. It is a flake struck off of a core. The ridge on one side is the ridge that the flake followed when struck. That ridge was worked in the other direction with a small flake, and the edges all around were "prep" for further flaking. The piece just never got finished. It happens.

Nice find.

Nice finds Archer. I really like that material in the brown one. Looks like a tool to me. Should un thaw some this weekend.

Archaic or later, from the size of the striking platform.
