Pipe Contents

Contents from the pipe from interior of Burial #16 coffin.

The collection of artifacts recovered with the burial included a small globular hand-built clay pipe, four pieces of flint, a cuprous piece of wire or pin, and a small, somewhat deteriorated tooth, which appeared to come from a small carnivore.  There are analogs for such bundles in both African and Native American traditions, where they have significance spanning the spiritual and social worlds.
