Identifying and recording clay tobacco pipes - BAJR - 5th January 2012
LONDON ARCHAEOLOGICAL ARCHIVE AND RESEARCH CENTRE
IDENTIFYING AND RECORDING CLAY TOBACCO PIPES
Tutor: Jacqui Pearce, BA FSA MIFA
Saturday 17 March 2012 or Saturday 21 April 2012
The LAARC holds thousands of clay tobacco pipes, representing dozens of London makers and enabling us to trace the evolution of this commonplace artefact from before 1600 until after 1850. We are currently creating a new reference collection, initially comprising over 500 individual pipes, which will be completed in March 2012 and used for the first time during these two study days.
There will be a strong emphasis on practical activities, handling and studying the original artefacts, and so we are restricting the number of participants on each day to just 12. The sessions will include:
? Introduction and overview of tobacco pipes in London, c. 1600-1850
? Makers and makers? marks
? Decorated pipes
? Archaeological assemblages: pipes in association with other artefacts
? Recording pipes individually and in groups
Course cost: ?60, including:
? All tutorial expenses and access to on-line resources following the course
? Tea/coffee (morning and afternoon)
? Lunch
Next steps
? To book, please contact the Museum of London Box Office (tel: 020 7001 9844)
? To discuss the content of the course, please contact (preferably by e-mail) Francis Grew (fgrew@museumoflondon.org.uk; telephone 020 7566 9317) or Jacqui Pearce (jpearce@museumoflondon.org.uk; telephone: 020 7566 9325)

Opportunity for you to start selling sets of imperial drillbits? (if so, I'm after some, the right sizes are amazingly rare at car-boot sales)

Just to highlight the webpages that set out some of the excellent recent work done on London pipes, especially makers' stamps, by MoLA.

Maybe the EU will make us go metric on pipe-bore numbers eventually :face-crying:
