content: Originial Catalog Number: 2827 Style: T-Cylindrical or Concentric Raw Material 2: Siliceous shale Luster: Dull Shape/Form: T Manufacturing Notes: Unfinished blank. bowl is just a depression in top. Bowl considerably wider than base, but this is before finishing, so the bowl could be whittled down some before the pipe is done. Unclear which stem is "stem" and which "tail". Good evidence that these were shaped by pecking before being ground smooth. Base shows that an adzing motion w/ a narrow tool was done. Surface Modification: Pecking. Use Trace: Unused except for a grave offering. Comments: Nice correlate to unfinished pipe in Brown 1976 (Brown, James A. The Artifacts. Second Part of the Third Annual Report of Caddoan Archaeology). Raw material seems identical to the others in the Trowbridge collection. Very fine-grained to be sandstone, & the Univ. of MD geologist (Dr. A. Segovia) says silicified siltstone. James A. Brown said sandstone. This is same raw material as other T-pipes in this collection.
