Found all of these on a gravel bar in the middle of the Colorado river in Texas. I am curious about the time period of each of these, and name, or classification if any??

I’m going to try to help BigK..Going L to R the point in pic 4 appears to be a Marshall point,mid archaic. That one was easy. In pic 1, I need to see both sides as it may be a paleo point. Pic 2 looks like a Pontchartrain point, mid to trans archaic . Pic 3 is archaic but the base means everything in type.Pic 5 was a point resharpened into a blade. Pic 6 is a preform or a blade.
All seem to be archaic back 5000 BP .Lubbock County Tx

I believe that is a paleo piece. Whatever happened at the time of production, it may not be finished. If there is grinding on the left side,flute down prehaps it is a finished point...

I don't believe it is a Paleo piece. I agree it looks like it was not finished. If Paleo there are no telltale indicators other than a lanceolate form but lots of point types from Paleo thru Woodland exhibit that form and can be among the hardest to ID unless one has it in hand. If unfinished which it looks to be then no way to tell what it was going to be for sure. I agree with LM in that they appear to be mid Archaic. My WAG is that little blade is probably from the same time period. But who really knows for sure?
