This clay pipe bowl with partial stem is from the curated collections at Ocmulgee National Monument, and is part of a digital collections collaboration with the University of South Florida Libraries and the National Park Service - Southeast Archeological Center (NPS SEAC). Digital collections allow for not only wider accessibility and study, but assist with conservation, interpretation development, and for archival documentation. Notes with this pipe reflect that it came from Works Progress Administration era excavation at Ocmulgee and surrounding sites in the late 1930s, with accession information stating: OCMU 129, WPA#39-15317/12 Bi 18 (Could be from Stubbs Mound vicinity near Tobesofkee Creek).
