ARTICLES OF CLAY.
Pottery Pipes are common everywhere. They are usually manufactured of a better
quality of -clay than that used for vessels, and bear fairly similar designs. They are
susceptible of division into. the following classes:
- Straight pipe, bowl expanding slightly.
- Bowl much larger than stem, leaving it at an angle of forty-five degrees. Stem
round.
- Same as number 2, but stem angular and much flattened.
- Effigy pipes, (represented by a pottery human head apparently broken from a
pipe bowl, obtained by Mr. M. R. Harrington at Port Washington, Long
Island).
The straight pipe seems to have been obtained only on Staten Island on the
north shore in the region occupied by the Hackensack. While nowhere as abundant
as upon the Iroquoian sites of central and western New York, the clay pipe is rather
common and is a prominent feature in the coast culture of New York (Fig. 15a). It is
more abundant perhaps in the southern part
'of the area, but this may well be due to the fact that data from this region are more
easily accessible. The triangular-stemmed "trumpet" pipe so common on the
Iroquoian sites is unknown in this region.
