Summary
Pipe stems are a staple in Historical Archaeology. Their study can provide considerable insight into the lives of the people who used them. In addition to the cultural importance of pipe stems, these artifacts are frequently used to date historic sites. Working with a collection of over 2,000, 17th and 18th century pipe stems from the Clark-Watson site in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, we reexamine the notion of a communal tavern pipe through experimental archaeology techniques. In addition, we will compare multiple accepted pipe stem dating methods, while also testing new methods, in an attempt to provide significantly more accurate dates that will aid in the interpretation of future archaeological test
