Description: | The bowl of a post medieval (later 17th century) clay tobacco pipe. The bowl is complete being broken at the junction with the stem; the mouth is also laminating. From the profile surviving it is most likely that this bowl fits within Atkinson Brosley typology as Type 2a which has an elongated bowl a relatively flat circular heel, and wide bore. This type is dated broadly to the period 1660-1680. The pipe shows signs of burnishing and (straight, smoothing strokes) bottering (smoothing of the bowl rim) and rouletting. These are all typical finishing techniques on early pipes. The small foot is unmarked and abraded it is oval in shape.The pipe measures 43.4mm length, bowl diameter 22.0mm, heel 12.5mm diameter, weight 12.62 grams | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
