Janee,
Here's a possible guess. Maybe a textured linoleum tile. Possibly multiple layers stacked on top of each other? It can seem kind of chalky and it crumbles fairly easily especially if wet. Rare to find larger pieces of it.

Subject: Please Help Identify This Artifact - Updated link
Hi All,
Below is my original message. I was made aware that the link did not copy the way it was supposed to. Hopefully it works now.I encountered an unidentified artifact during my thesis excavations on a historic site last month. So far this plaster like artifact has stumped my professors and my fellow cohorts. They appear to have at onetime been mortared or glued together with a cobble like design on one side and a plain side on the other. They are very stiff and are made out of an unidentified material. If anyone can identify this artifact, please let me know.
Photos of these artifacts can be accessed via the below dropbox link
