A common artifact in colonial period sites, previous publications on this subject have focused on the decorations on the pipes or which ethnic group produced and used the pipes, 'European, ' 'African, ' or 'Indian.' This book weaves together new interpretations, analytical techniques, classification schemes, historical background, and archaeological methods and theory. Special attention is paid to the subfield of African diaspora research to display the complexities of understanding this class of material culture. This fascinating study is accessible to the undergraduate reader, as well as to graduate students and scholars"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Tobacco pipes -- Economic aspects -- Virginia -- History Tobacco pipes -- Social aspects -- Virginia -- History Material culture -- Virginia -- History African Americans -- Material culture -- Virginia -- History Ethnoarchaeology -- Virginia Social archaeology -- Virginia Archaeology and history -- Virginia SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Archaeology.
