Abstract
Twenty-four clay tobacco-pipe fragments were recovered from excavations at Yuquot, British Columbia. Twenty were standard, white ball-clay fragments of European tradition. Of the other four fragments, one of pale buff clay exhibiting traces of shellac or varnish seems to have been professionally made; two, one of buff clay and one of a pale, dirty white-buff clay apparently were not made by professional pipemakers, and one of grey clay was probably native-made. Certainly some and probably all of the material is 19th century.
