Hólar itself is situated in the North-West of Iceland in the valley of Hjaltadalur. The seat of the bishopric was founded in 1106 and excavations were undertaken from 2002 until 2010. The excavations unearthed an extensive number of houses and structures ranging from the Viking age up to the 18th century. With a densely populated area a vast amount of finds came to light. The author of this thesis has analysed all available clay tobacco pipes from this site and will present the first results below. In the beginning a brief history of the consumption of tobacco shall be given, followed by an overview of older and newer research with a closer focus on the clay pipe research done in Iceland up to this day. In chapter four the methods used for the analyses will be presented. Subsequently the first results will be shown and finally a conclusion will be drawn. The aim of this thesis is to explore the potential of clay tobacco pipe analysis in Iceland. This is a case study and will be focusing on four themes: dating, origin, quality and usage. As clay pipes are commonly used for dating this will be the first theme to be scrutinised in chapter five. The provenance of pipe products will be interesting to explore as there are rather small scale production sites in Denmark which are found in the Hólar collection. Most of the Danish clay pipes were not as greatly traded in numbers as the ones from the well known centres of England and The Netherlands. A new angle for the clay pipe research will be introduced next. The issue of quality has been touched on in various publications but it was always more of a subjective approach. This thesis has defined four quality groups and will try to present some criteria tied to each group. In doing so, it should be possible to achieve statistical data and look at the results drawn from it. A closer look at use patterns will follow. The usage of clay tobacco pipes has been documented before but only in the form of a comment whenever some particularly dominant character was observed. In this case study, all clay pipes were looked at for the use patterns. The methods are described in chapter four while results follow in chapters five and six. An appendix has been added to this work in form of a CD. It can be found in the back of this master’s thesis including the complete clay tobacco pipe collection from Hólar to the present day. Almost all of the analyses are done by the author herself. This takes the form of an excel-sheet and is exported from the Intrasis database used for the Hólar site. 3 It should be mentioned at this point that the author of this thesis is new to the subject of clay tobacco pipe studies therefore it will not be surprising that mistakes might occur during the analyses. These errors, however, should not be a hindrance as the overall results still show the correct tendency. Figure 1.1: Bowl fragment made of reddish clay. This fragment was defined as belonging to the best quality and it is unused (photo taken by A. Wacke). 4 2 History of tobacco consumption The aim of this thesis is to focus on clay tobacco pipes which present only one way to consume tobacco. There are, however, other ways to take tobacco as well as a whole history about the use of tobacco. At this point there will be given only a brief overview about the topic. Tobacco derives from plants like Nicotiana rustica and Nicotiana tabacum. The specific origins of these plants are lost. It is known, however, that they broadly came from South and North America. These plants were used early on in a dried form to be smoked by the native population of these continents. Tobacco and smoking was introduced to Europe in the 16th century. The practice was observed among native tribes by explorers to the New World and other encounters with Amerindians in both Americas. After its introduction to Europe it spread rapidly across the whole continent and from Europe the habit spread to India, China, Africa, the Philippines, Japan and others. The tobacco plant first appeared at the Portuguese court in Lisbon in

Abstract This thesis undertakes a comparative analysis of ceramic and stone pipes recovered from eight archaeological sites located near present day Arkona, Ontario. Commonly known as the Arkona Cluster, these sites date to between A.D. 1000 and 1280 during the early Late Woodland Period and are thought to be part of a borderland region between distinct cultural groups known as the Western Basin Younge Phase and the Early Ontario Iroquoians. Using a combination of distribution and attribute data from each site’s pipe assemblage, I explore how the similarities and differences observed can be used to draw insights into the potential relations between the sites and how they relate to a larger regional context of identity formation, territorialization and intergroup interaction and exchange.

This inventory, better known as Tophane pipe making, came out in a large part of the Ottoman Empire in different ways according to its period, region and production style. In a short span of time, tobacco spread to a large part of the empire, was first consumed as a remedy and soon after as a stimulating substance. The variety in the usage of opium, the consumption of wine despite its being banned, and especially the excessive consumption of coffee by almost everyone paved the way for tobacco.

  • 6: C.1640 --- Tobacco Pipes Accession Numbers LRM1991/69 and 1999/35
    Lyme Regis Museum Lyme’s History in Objects 666:6: c.1640 --- Tobacco Pipes Accession Numbers LRM1991/69 and 1999/35 By Felicity Hebditch Summary These are clay pipes made for smoking tobacco and are evidence of Dorset connections with America, which started with fishing fleets going to Newfoundland in the 15th century before Columbus and Cabot. Tobacco was imported to England probably in the mid 16th century and quickly became popular. It was thought by some to have medicinal qualities and able to ward off the plague. The first clay pipes made in England had very small bowls as tobacco was expensive, but pipes were made larger as it became more plentiful. Lyme’s pipes were probably made in Chard. The maker’s mark is usually stamped on the bowl. Clay tobacco pipe bowl from around the time of the Civil War (c1630-50) dug up in 1991 in the garden of Buena Vista, Pound Street (LRM1991/69). Bowl 2cm long. Clay pipe stems and bowls from the garden of the Roman Catholic Church in Silver Street (LRM 1999/35), donated by Monica Palmer-Smith. 1 History of Lyme in Museum No. 6: Tobacco Pipes © 2013 Felicity Hebditch & Lyme Regis Museum Tobacco Wild tobacco Nicotiana rustica came from South America. The cruder the leaf the less addictive it is; impurities protect against addiction. Montezuma smoked cigars as a tube mixed with sweet gum. The Incas inhaled it as powder to clear the head. Native Americans, such as the Powhatans, in Virginia, used tobacco in religious ceremonies for the Great Spirit and as medicine.

However, many questions remain concerning what materials were smoked and when tobacco first Nicotine became a part of this smoking tradition. Chemical analysis of organic residues extracted from archaeological GC/MS smoking pipes is an encouraging avenue of research into answering questions regarding the development of a Residue analysis smoking complex within indigenous cultures of the Eastern Woodlands. In the right environmental conditions, Feltus absorbed organic compounds within artifacts can remain structurally stable for millennia, allowing analyses of Smoking pipe organic matter to be performed on relics of advanced age. In this study, organic matter from six pipe fragments derived from the prehistoric Feltus site in Mississippi was extracted and analyzed via GC-MS, a process that allows for the identification of compounds in a complex mixture. Preliminary experiments tested the effects of pH on the efficacy of our extraction solvent to maximize the detectability of alkaloids such as nicotine.
