These two fragments of a pipe were reconstructed in the archeology lab at the Kansas Historical Society. The pipe is made of an unknown black material with mica-like inclusions. It has parallel and perpendicular lines below the rim of the bowl. The interior has not been smoothed. The pipe fragments were excavated from a Great Bend aspect (ancestral Wichita) village in Cowley County during Phase IV archeological investigations in 1995. The site had been much impacted by a water line, golf greens, roads, and highways. Excavations had been occurring at the site since 1916.
