Clay pipes
www.dawnmist.demon.co.uk/pipdex.htm
In the Hooke Court programme, Time Team finds expert Paul Blinkhorn explained to the children from Hooke school how clay pipes are common finds on archaeological digs. He told them how ordinary labourers would often have a pipe clenched between their teeth as they worked and how some skeletons have a characteristic groove in their teeth resulting from the wear caused by many years of pipe use. This website includes pictures of almost 400 pipes dating from 1600 to the 20th century, as well as a short history. The website author is a collector, who offers a free identification service.
