If its ceramic, which is what it looks like in the picture. Then that is a pretty cool Native American artifact. Not super-old. About 2000-1000 maybe a little younger. That is for making pottery, its a forming anvil. The potter pushes the clay against it to shape and form the walls of a clay pot. Here is a modern potter using one.
Here is a link to some in the Harvard collections. Most of them are found in the Lower Bama to Georgia North Florida area, near Kolomoki along the Chattahoochee.
Neat find, walk the bank and look for a burial or a big black stain sticking out. There is probably a bunch of pottery where that came from.

I knew it was some kind of artifact but wasn't sure if it was a birdstone of some type. Thanks for the information, Skinny. I would love to find something like that one day.
