The link you left is to one of the most important Paleo sites in the Northeast. Vail/Debert points take their name from the site. The ASAA is a great bunch of people. I belong to the Ma. Chapter, and Mike Gramly lives in Ma. I've never been up there, but it sure has been a dry summer. Sure would be a great area to surface hunt under the circumstances. Bet there's fluted points showing somewhere right there.
Anyway, having a hard time figuring out the rock type here, but from the underside shots, I don't think it is steatite, aka soapstone. Otherwise, I couldn't be certain from the photos. (If it feels greasy or soapy, it might be soapstone.) It could be a broken mortar, but I would lean natural as well, but could easily be wrong. It's one of those things that I want to hold in my hands to look at, but it might just be water worn that way, given where you found it. I just can't say for certain, wish I could be of more help.
Thanks Charl for meeting up with me today to look at my "bowl/mortar"
