Description: | 9 clay pipe bowl fragments. The bowl fragments are from a variety of different pipes, all of which are undecorated except for a line of rouletting near the bowl rim. The fragments are made from moulded fine white clay. The stems weigh 147g.
Clay pipes were made in England from the mid 17th to the early 20th century. To date more precisely clay pipes the pipe bowl or any decoration is need. As there are no diagnostic features on these stems, they are given this broad dating range, but they are probably not dated to the 19th to 20th century due to the lack of ornate decoration. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
