Very cool Redrocks!
You know although we have many different types of ecosystems across the continent, the kinds task that were done by prehistoric people's remained pretty consistent for thousands of years. Harvesting and processing game, building shelters, working stone, wood, shell and bone as well as making clothes, tools and adornments. These task we're all done with what was available and NA's were efficient at doing them.
That's why we sometimes see similar tool forms that accomplished various task from different regions. Many recognized types have a doppleganger somewhere else that may go by a different name yet the uses, forms and age are all the same.

Thanks for sharing!

[Kyflintguy]

It looks as if the black one was also used as a drill before being discarded
