      I'm not sure it's translucent and has small horizontal White lines in it. Someone said it may be ivory

    First off I don't believe the elephant is Native American. Probably somewhat more recent.

    You've found some nice artifacts. A few are identifiable, some are not and a few are just rocks. The round black item looks to be a Discoidal to me wich was used in the game of chunkey. Ill dig up some info on those. I also see what may be an ear spool. The points that have the bases missing may not be identifiable because the base is often the key identifier as to type. If I were you I would selerate the complete points and post a photo of those for id help. Also use something for scale in your photos and always remember to mention the area they were found. Thanks!

    Ok looking at your photo. I circled what I believe is a pottery ear spool. I placed an "X" on the items that are likely just Rocks. I placed a "U" on the items that are likely unidentifiable. I marked the piece that are likely debitage, waste flakes or cores with "D". I placed a "S" on one item that looked like a possible scraper. I used "M" to mark maybes? Better photos of those would help determine what kind or if they are in fact artifacts.

    The rest I left unmarked are likely identifiable tools/knives/ projectiles. We need better photos to help you i.d those. Hope that helps you out!

      It might help Tam, it may not. One thing is for certain a group photo is a hard way to go about getting stuff identified. Just a lot to take in at once. If the poster lilboy breaks up those identifiable items and post good pics, we can likely help him even more.
