  Figure 
  1 
  in 
  plate 
  31 
  shows 
  the 
  pipe 
  found 
  in 
  grave 
  14. 
  The 
  bold 
  

   incised 
  lines 
  that 
  form 
  the 
  decoration 
  are 
  of 
  exceptional 
  interest 
  

   and 
  are 
  a 
  departure 
  from 
  other 
  forms. 
  The 
  nipplelike 
  stem 
  seems 
  

   to 
  have 
  been 
  designed 
  as 
  a 
  support 
  over 
  which 
  a 
  wooden 
  stem 
  was 
  

   fitted, 
  rather 
  than 
  as 
  a 
  mouth 
  piece. 
  The 
  pipe 
  contained 
  charred 
  

   tobacco 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  carefully 
  preserved 
  intact 
  in 
  the 
  bowl. 
  A 
  

   photograph 
  of 
  the 
  grave 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  pipe 
  was 
  found 
  is 
  shown 
  in 
  

   plate 
  7. 
  The 
  writer 
  has 
  never 
  seen 
  a 
  pipe 
  of' 
  this 
  kind 
  in 
  any 
  col- 
  

   lection 
  nor 
  illustrated 
  in 
  any 
  work 
  on 
  archeology, 
  and 
  the 
  specimen 
  

   is 
  probably 
  a 
  rare 
  one 
  if 
  not 
  entirely 
  unique. 
  

  

  The 
  long 
  square-topped 
  pipe 
  shown 
  in 
  figure 
  2 
  of 
  plate 
  31 
  is 
  the 
  

   so 
  called 
  " 
  Huronian 
  " 
  form. 
  It 
  is 
  made 
  of 
  the 
  ordinary 
  clay 
  from 
  

   the 
  vicinity 
  but 
  has 
  become 
  stained 
  a 
  dark 
  brown. 
  In 
  texture 
  this 
  

   pipe 
  is 
  perhaps 
  the 
  best 
  example 
  of 
  pottery 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  site. 
  It 
  

   is 
  very 
  hard 
  and 
  fine 
  grained. 
  

  

  Two 
  views 
  of 
  the 
  two-faced 
  pipe 
  found 
  in 
  grave 
  XX, 
  pit 
  44 
  are 
  

   shown 
  in 
  plate 
  31, 
  figures 
  3 
  and 
  4. 
  The 
  front 
  view 
  was 
  taken 
  just 
  

   after 
  the 
  pipe 
  was 
  removed 
  from 
  the 
  grave 
  and 
  was 
  yet 
  covered 
  

   with 
  particles 
  of 
  sand, 
  as 
  the 
  picture 
  shows. 
  ' 
  The 
  side 
  view 
  gives 
  

   a 
  much 
  better 
  idea 
  of 
  the 
  object 
  and 
  shows 
  the 
  two 
  faces, 
  both 
  of 
  

  

  Fig. 
  25 
  Pottery 
  pipe 
  bowls 
  

  

  which 
  are 
  remarkably 
  alike, 
  the 
  face 
  away 
  from 
  the 
  smoker, 
  how- 
  

   ever, 
  being 
  more 
  perfect 
  in 
  workmanship. 
  As 
  is 
  the 
  case 
  with 
  all 
  

   the 
  earthen 
  pipes 
  shown 
  in 
  the 
  plate, 
  this 
  pipe 
  contained 
  charred 
  

   tobacco.
