These pipe fragments were recovered from the Jotham Meeker farmstead site in Franklin County. The pipe fragments are made of white clay, sometimes called pipe clay. They are decorated with horizontal and vertical molded lines. The site was excavated in 1985 at a Kansas Archeology Training Program field school. Jotham Meeker served as a Baptist missionary among the Ottawa on their reservation.
