Abstract:
Though Dane Magoon’s article discussed six types of pipes—English, Native American, “Chesapeake,” Jordan’s Landing, Croatan, and Neoheroka Fort—emphasis was placed on “Chesapeake.” Noted about the “Chesapeake,” primarily produced by Native Americans: theoretical interpretations for their West African affiliation, distinguishing features and artistic decorations; recovery locations; and an explanation for enclosing the name in quotation marks. Included were seven figures, with five of these figures showing photos of the pipes, one displaying the three excavation sites, and one containing drawings of Jordan’s Landing pipes.
