The pipe stem artifact shown in this listing is a fragment of a tobacco pipe from the 17th century. Tobacco pipes were not only used to smoke tobacco. They were often used for medicinal purposes, not only for recreational usage (17th Century Pipe Stem · ANTH 1130. (n.d.). https://anth1130.omeka.fas.harvard.edu/items/show/3109?type=21&sort_field=Dublin+Core%2CTitle).
The tobacco pipe gained popularity not only among the wealthy or leaders- the use of this pipe was used among "every race, class and gender" (Discovering the Colonial Pipe · Storied Objects: a material history of New Paltz · Hudson River Valley Heritage Exhibits. (n.d.). https://omeka.hrvh.org/exhibits/show/history-of-new-paltz-in-object/fun/colonial-pipe).Created By
