- Lot Description
Native American, Eastern United States, Kentucky, Christian County, Mississippian, ca. 1000 CE. An interesting pair of pottery pipes with a distinctive "elbow" shape and hollow interior. Both pipes have a curved profile with a flattened base upon which they can rest upright. There are openings on both ends to serve as inhalation and fill holes. Smoking pipes seem to have played an important role in Eastern Woodland cultures, which spanned from sub-Arctic Canada to the southern United States. The earliest evidence we have for the use of tobacco in this area comes from ca. 100 to 200 CE. In addition, and prior to tobacco, we know from ethnohistorical accounts that people smoked a variety of other plants, including dogwood, juniper, sumac, and bearberry. Size larger pipe: 4" L x 2" W x 2.25" H (10.2 cm x 5.1 cm x 5.7 cm); smaller: 3" L x 1.5" W x 3" H (7.6 cm x 3.8 cm x 7.6 cm)
