My guesses are hafted chopper, paint cup, broken blade, dunno, a knife and a scraper.

Im with the doc on the id's,,,the "dunno" looks like a geo fact.The paint Pot should have some residue left intact from the organics used.If it is in fact a "paint pot' it is one of my favorite Artifacts.Thanks for shairing.
On of my more recent endevors is to try to put Indian tribes to Artifacts,,,And let me tell you that history has lost a lot of accuracy about which tribes were exactly where.
You can go to the local history Museum and they should have info on local tribes.Thats how i have narrowed some artifacts down to tribes.Comanche

am learning - i knew nothing of this till i came here- i will post more -very interesting- wonder if we could narrow down what tribe was mostly in certain areas- but they did travel..-- hey thanks again!!!

From top to bottom I would say they area a Scraper, a piece of concretion, a piece of a broken Blade, a geofact that looks like Snoopy, a Blade/Preform, and another Scraper.

As for the concretion being a "Paint Pot" or not is subject to whether it was found on a known site in association with other artifacts. We find these all over my area, but unless I find them on a site I don't consider them as being used since they are a naturally occuring stone. The ones I find on camp sites are almost always very highly polished from being used for something for a long period of time while the ones along the river bank or in creeks are usually very rough and unpolished and were likely never used for anything. Yours appears rough in the picture so it's probably never been used ar at least wasn't used for very long.

Nice Redneck,,,,Steve brought up a good point on the little cupped piece,,,,Was it found in context to other Artifacts,,,if so you got it.I have only seen a handful of these,,,and Steve would Know///jmo/comanche

I like your stuff, and, the fact that you are a self-proclaimed "redneck". Long live rednecks!
