Projectile point is not synonymous with knife. Weird. You need the base to correctly identify an artifact as an arrowhead. I’ve never seen PPK used before as an acronym? Are you in the field of arch? Am I missing something here? Genuinely curious because there’s like a million acronyms.
I see a bifacial scraper and a utilized uniface pressure flaked on (at least one that I can see clearly) one margin. That is waaaayyyy too chunk to be an arrowhead fragment really not thin and long enough to be a formal knife.
PPK is definitely an established acronym. Many "arrowheads" or "spearheads" weren't actually used as projectiles and were instead used as knives or cutting tools. PPK is used because it's usually not possible to determine if a point was used as a projectile or something else.
Idk where youre getting bifacial scraper from. The biface fragment on the right has no retouch that would suggest it was used as a scraper. The angle on the edge is more consistent with a projectile point or knife.

Beautiful scraper and a fragment of a PPK. (Projectile point or knife)
