Could be. Someone had used them to make a small set of steps near an old pier/dock on a long gone home site on the river. I worked 26 years on a blacktop crew and have a bunch of street pavers I picked up over the years. They make nice flower bed borders for the boss. LOL
I don't know why but I have always had a soft spot for old bricks. I found this one along the river while fishing one day last summer. With a name like that I just had to bring it home. LOL

As a kid, many of the fields I used to hunt arrowheads in also had a lot of pottery shards scattered all over. It's hard to tell from your pic but as long as there is no glaze on it I would bet the farm that what you have there is native American. Another tell is what was used to temper the...
