This pipe fragment was recovered from a farmstead in Chautauqua County during excavations by Kansas Historical Society archeologists. The pipe is manufactured of clay in a two-part mold (mold seams visible) and was decorated with a series of diagonal lines. The site had multiple occupations, what archeologists call a multicomponent site, dating from the Early Ceramic period (2000 to 1000 years ago) to the first half of the 20th century. This pipe dates to the latter occupation.
