Click to enlarge	The two modified tube pipes found in Cox Cave, Scott County, Virginia. They are both made from sandstone. One shows a series of tally marks around the stem. Both show heavy age deposits, as can be seen in the images. Modified tube pipes are very rare, with few examples known. They likely date to the Terminal Adena period, 200 BC - AD 300. They are both in pristine condition, and show evidence of use. Shown at top are the two pipes viewed on end, showing similarity in form (they were likely made by the same individual). At center are the two pipes from above, as well as a view of the bottom of the larger of the two.
