Summary
Archaeological analysis of mid-19th century pipe stem assemblages aids in interpretation of the chronology of an archaeological site as well as providing insight about the local economy and past life styles. Various Henderson and Glasgow pipe fragments have been excavated from the privy at the Peter Dougherty site, a mid-19th century house where Reverend Peter Dougherty and his family resided from 1842-1852 with the Chippewa and Ottawa Indians of Old Mission Peninsula, located in northern lower Michigan. The goal of this paper is to illustrate the social and economic impacts of pipe smoking on Old Mission Peninsula during the time Peter Dougherty and his family lived among and interacted with the Chippewa and Ottawa Indians.
