You know, one of the difficulties here is that we don't know the culture of these people. I have not noticed a lot of projectile points so I don't imagine they made their living by hunting large game.
If they lived in a wetland environment, food would be plentiful from fishing or gathering meat - as in turtles. I've seen some of these lithics that could pass for net stones also.
We don't know the climate at this time, but the need for clothing may have been minimal, but we've definately seen scrapers, etc, presumably good for skinning and tanning hide.
They must have worked in wood a lot. So any of these heavier implements could be useful. If they had any agricultural skills, the heavier implements could be used as a furrower or manual plow. Plus if they did farm at all they would need to grind whatever grain they may harvest or gathered.
If we get some dating, we can figure this out.

Oh, if you suggested that agriculture was invented in Texas in 130,000 BC the Club would shit itself to death.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.
