DOCUMENT Full-Text Linda Scott Cummings. Melissa K. Logan. Chad Yost.

Residue from the bowl of a Late Woodland period clay pipe found at the Military Academy Site in Niantic, Connecticut was submitted for phytolith and organic residue analysis to gain information regarding materials smoked. AMS radiocarbon dating was performed on this residue to obtain a date for the use of the pipe. In addition, the residue was tested for the presence of organic residues using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy.
