represented. The majority of the stems are plain, but several have 

 molded designs near the bowl. These designs consist of ridges on the 

 upper part of the stem transverse to the length of the stem, between 

 which are small nodes. One partially restored bowl with this type 

 of design on the stem has a little of this line and dot design. That 

 portion of the bowl remaining has a series of flutes running up it for 

 1/^ inch. Bowl height is 1% inches and bowl diameter is % inch 

 (No. 177) (pl.61,^-7l). 



Two partially restored bowls, with spurs, and three stems with 

 spurs, are of the familiar "TD" design. This form of clay pipe com- 

 monly had a stem about 6 inches long. The bowl projected from the 

 stem at an angle of about 100 degrees and was about li/^ inches in 

 height, and % inch in diameter. On the rear of the bowl a wreath 

 encircles the letters "TD." The letters "G" and "W," are frequently 

 found on the two sides of the spur. They are probably manufac- 

 turer's marks (Nos. ^5, 225; J^S, J^S, 139) (pi. 61, a-f). 



There appear to be two varieties of the TD pipes in this sample. 

 Four of the five spurs have the letter W on the left-hand side. The 

 stems are plain. The fifth spur has the letter G on its left-hand 

 side; it also has five small diagonal lines above this letter. This 

 difference may be just a mold peculiarity and not a significant 

 distinction. 



Another make of pipe is represented by one sample which consists 

 of the base of a bowl, spur, and portion of stem. It is different from 

 the TD styling and from those decorated with fluting on the bowls 

 and lines and dots on the stems (pi. 61, h) . 



This specimen has a spur much smaller than any of the others from 

 this site; the stem appears to have been plain. The most striking 

 thing about it is the bowl base which is covered with fine fluting. 

 The bowl of this specimen appears to have been set at an angle of 

 about 100 degrees from the stem (No. 48) (pi. 61, g). 



One specimen represented only by a bowl fragment, seems to be 

 from still another type of pipe. The bowl fragment is about twice 

 as thick as any others and came from a heavier type of pipe (No. 

 196). 



The slender pipe stems were apparently broken more frequently 

 than the bowls. If enough of the stem was left to make it still usable, 

 the pipe was retained. Two stems decorated with the line-and-dot 

 design and 2 to 4 inches long, have teeth marks at their ends (Nos. 

 227 and 256) (pi. 61, Jc-l) . One hundred and thirty-eight stem frag- 

 ments were recovered. 



A study of the 27 bowl and 138 stem fi^agments indicates that 

 there were approximately 12 pipes w^ith fluted bowls and the deco- 

 rated stems. There were approximately 9 of the TD pipes and 2 

 miscellaneous pipes. Portions of 23 pipes were recovered.
