Help Identifying

[Chrstyd]

Hi everyone,
I found this in my pasture and I'm trying to figure out what it could have been used for? It is pretty flat on the backside but you can it has been worked on the front side. I live not even 2 miles from an antelope creek ruin in Hutchinson county in Texas my land is south east from the ruins on high ground. I have a lot of flint all over my pasture and I also have found a washita base but the tip was broke off, I included a picture of it also. I would like to know if someone could help me with the recent find it will be the first picture. Thank y'all so much hopefully I can figure out what it might be I'm really thinking maybe a scraper of some sort?

If you have a source of flint on your land, there will be tested and discarded preforms laying about. They carried off the good pieces and left the rejects. Quarry areas don’t usually have a lot of finished points.

My land is not a quarry site. The Alibates Quarry site is 18 miles from me. There is a dwelling site that is maybe 2 miles from my land. I find flakes and broke points out here.

Wow! Lucky you! I’m a flintknapper and have always wanted to go down there and hunt Alibates flint. A friend down there picks it up for me. He finds it just outside the park boundaries on private ground. It’s just pieces the Indians carried away from the quarry and discarded. Mostly small pieces but still usable for small points. Alibates is really beautiful stone.
