It would be easier to tell more about them seeing them in person, but I would guess that the bottom left is a primary thinning flake from reducing a big spall or nodule, the middle right one looks like a discarded preform,  and from the steep angled mostly unifacial flaking on the one in the bottom pic, I'd say that it's been used as a scraper.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

  The top 3 are not arrow heads. They are Atlatl dart heads. I believe the rest are preforms in one shape or another.   I will correct myself. I saw the quarter after posting and the woodland time period. But I still think the others are preforms in one stege or another.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

 Looks like many resharpenings on those top points. I agree that they might be atlatl points (wide in the stem) but as was also was commented,there were alot of uses for any sharp edge.(Did you see the blade on the icemans knife?) crude spalls or pre-forms. yeah.  Frank
