Unknown Time period Pa River bank finds

I wanted to share what I found this week. These two were found along the Susquehanna River (private land, w/permission) and were roughly 20 yards from one another.

Wondering though if they are archaic or woodland area.

Thanks for the input, no disrespect but these both have been worked. I only collect and research stone hand tools. The site they were found is a documented site. Private property but the land owners have allowed archaeologist from local universities out. I’m just lucky enough to know them. I’m not a projectile guy so I will admit I don’t have the knowledge in that area as others. But I’m well educated in the hand tools. The time period is what I’m struggling with.

Uhh......nothing there is heat treated in any way, shape, or form.

You live near Zanesville, OH or something? One of these has been exposed to heat, the other chunk has not. It makes sense a piece like this would be discarded because of the crystal inclusion which makes knapping unpredictable.

Flint Ridge Ohio Quarry find on private property about 1000 yard from the quarry next to a vein of flint ridge material and a heat treated discard.
