These pipe fragments were collected from the Plowboy site in Shawnee County and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 2017. The pipe fragments are all made of white clay, sometimes called pipe or kaolin clay. Shown are one bit (the mouth bite zone) fragment, one shank/bowl fragment, and 10 stem fragments. The Plowboy site was home to the Kansa, the Potawatomi, and Euro-Americans. At various times, the site contained a farm, a trading post, and a post office with nearby military trails, Mormon routes, a railroad and the California-Oregon trail.
