Construction Site Finds

There has been some major construction going on by a river near where I live. Before the heavy equipment came in they plowed the area I guess to loosen up the soil and remove the vegetation that had been growing there. I noticed that there were a couple people walking the site and judging by the way they were walking I assumed they were looking for points. A couple of days later I saw the bulldozers had arrived and they were grading the site and really moving a lot of dirt. About a week later we got some really good rain and I knew nobody would be working that day so I decided that I would check it out and see if I could find anything and I got pretty lucky. I found these 2 points and not much else, I hardly found any flake debris or flint besides these two points it was weird. Anyway the smaller one is extremely beveled on both sides and the only points that I could find beveled on both sides were the Lost Lake type but if anyone can help me to identify it I would greatly appreciate it. The big one I have no idea what type of point it is but it is pretty big and it does look stemmed but I could not find a type that really fit it. So if anyone has a suggestion please let me know. Thanks for looking.

Nice finds... Could the beveled point be a broken-base Hardin? The other hits me as a chipped corner-tang knife... Probably wrong, but that's my guess... Congrats, anyway...

Good finds.
Just guesses on the types.
First one Motley or Epps,,,,,But Lost Lake Fits better///Jmo
The opposite beveling and slight serrations lean more toward Lost Lake.
The big One,,,Well if the first one is Early archaic,Lost Lake,,,could the Second be something like"Hollenberg Stemmed?////c
