Boston Common Pipe

3D Model

Recovered from an archaeological dig on Boston Common in the 1980’s, this unusually small clay pipe bowl may have been used as a novelty, toy, or as a way to smoke extremely small amounts of tobacco! Dating to the late 18th to early 19th century, it was likely lost by one of the many visitors to the Common, which was first established in 1634 and remains an active center for the City of Boston.Scanned by Brian Schools.
