This Archaic period tube pipe was found on February 13,
2019 by Bryan Bodner while hunting an old creek bed beneath a rock
shelter in Boyle County, Kentucky. Inside of the pipe was a rounded
pebble (shown
in the picture) that served as the “plug” when smoking. These
are rarely found in association with tube pipes. The pipe measures
4 inches in length and is made from a high grained sandstone. Collection
of Bryan Bodner, Danville, Kentucky
