        The first is a waste flake from tool/arrowhead production and the second is the broken base of a Uvalde point. Keep looking in that area. There should be more! Good luck

          Awesome thanks! Unfortunately I will not be able to look there or at least for a long time I am currently in Alberta. Thanks for your comment!

            Do you know how old it would be?

              Uvalde points are early archaic/archaic. No telling how old the flake is

            The base notch is very reminiscent of a broken St. Albans Bifurcate, 6300 BC. But you probably don't have them where you found it. K. Just my opinion.

              That broken piece might be a flute flake to a Clovis style point. What does the back side look like?

                They are both broken so not too sure which one you are talking about but I’ll describe both. First one is super super flat on the back and is somewhat thin. The second one looks exactly the same from front to back.

                Gotcha. So the first one is super flat on the back and is very thin.

                  It's either a heavily isolated thinning flake or a flute flake. The platform that was struck is on the left side as you are facing the picture. Notice how there is a ridge running down the middle of the flake. In Flint knapping we deliberately set up platforms so the flake will follow the ridge.
