They look like they might be part of a cache to me, at least the two bottom ones do, I would be hitting that spot very hard every chance I had, I bet there are more.

They have a real paleo look to the flake patterns. Also looks like the material could be Indiana Hornstone, though what I've seen is usually a little more gray than tan. Are they bifacial or unifacial. A photo of the other sides would beneficial. I'm hopefully attaching a photo of a hornstone Clovis uniface scraper about 1/2 as long as the big blanks in your photo

The material looks like Kentucky hornstone.

Those could be part of a large cache.I would go back to the spot in the field and probe around in the area where they were found.Might be a whole pile of them right below the surface.
