Possible multi tool? North east georgia.

I'm using a probe to find artifacts in a field that's 100 feet from the Etowah river in northeast Georgia. I probe about a foot down. I've found broken pieces of pottery and flakes within 10 feet of this one.

It looks like one side has evidence of being an abrader. It has one indention on it that looks like it was used for some kind of hammering.

The part that I'm curious about is the V shaped slit in it. Any ideas what this could be?

Thanks.

Edit: It's a 20 acre horse farm on one of the bends of the Etowah River. I've been probing for a few days. I'd say I only get a hit on 5% of my probes. And mostly, I get quartz. I found an area in the center of the field where I've dug up broken pottery pieces and flaking. This was found within that center area.

Also, added a picture of a broke point that I just now dug up. Same spot.

The water was running over the stone from right to left, based on the top right image.

Interesting rock, but it looks natural to me.

Picture 3 is interesting can you post another picture of it showing what looks like a divit better?

I've seen similar rock shapes before. They were all natural river rocks, that had some parts at one time fractured off. Water tends to smooth out the fractured gouges. Don't see any signs of tooling.

Kind of reminds me of stones I gleaned to make my driveway, oval and flat, with some I rejected having bites taken out of them.

If found in a campsite it could be many things like nutting stone, metate, anvil, grinding stone, sharpening stone, fire pit stone and being so close to a river source it could be natural.

Interesting but I would think natural as well.

Looks natural to me.. Has the field ever been farmed?

Possibly a hafted scraper.
