Historic Clay Tobacco Pipes J. Byron Sudbury

USA: Several web sites report on pipes from USA archeological sites. These include links to several pages showing early pipes found at Jamestown (J2, J3). Other illustrated early pipe finds are from Plimoth Plantation Sites. Pipes are also illustrated in “The Treasures of the Steamboat Arabia”. Additional pipe information is available in the Pottery Industries in East Liverpool Area 1860-1869. A historical overview of the early industry in Akron, Ohio includes extensive information about local pipe production.

USA Bibliographies: The USA on-line literature also contains a number of historic archaeology bibliographic sites with entries of interest to the pipe reseacher, such as the Bibliography of Historic Archeology issued by Jamestown. John Cotter prepared a massive “Bibliography of Historical Archaeology in North American, North of Mexico” which is presented in several sections. A two-section Historic Archaeology Addendum to Cotters bibliography was updated in November 2002; the A-M section and the N-Z section. Paul Huey has assembled a bibliography related to Old World Dutch Trade materials. Among the many bibliographies that Smoke Pfeiffer has compiled is a very useful Fur Trade bibliography. Smoke also prepared the 1998 Directory of Archaeological Societies and Newsletters. For one needing more information, there is actually a list of available online archaeological bibliographies: For the final entry, there is an excellent North Carolina site which is comprised entirely of miscellaneous archaeological links.
