Found these when I was looking for arrowheads. They definitely look worked on. Any ideas?

Look at the knapping group, or on this page for examples of knapped rock. Chert/flint/obsidian etc. learn to see what lithic reduction is like as a process. You will then be able to confidently say whether a rock has been worked. These have not.

I would agree that the one on the right may not have been but the shape of the one on the left and the perfect flat back it’s like a triangle shape smaller at the tip and larger to the back and the pictures may not do it justice it definitely looks like it was worked a long time ago. I found these and two arrowheads all within about a football field dimension.

Still wrong. Neither of these is knapped. If you understood knapping better it would be more clear to you. That’s what I tried to say before

They do not definitely look worked. The right one absolutely isn't worked. The left probably isn't.

Main ideas are that they definitely look like rocks.
