Description: | A fragment from the bowl of a post medieval (later 17th century) clay tobacco pipe. The bowl is broken and only partially survives. From the profile surviving it is most likely that this bowl fits within Atkinson Brosley typology as Type 5b which has an elongated bowl a relatively flat circular heel with a heal / tail that makes it triangular in shape. This type is dated broadly to the period 1680-1720. 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 39.8mm length, heel measures 13.8mm x 10.2mm; it weighs 5.61 grams | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
