Maurice Raphaël: Clay-pipe finds from Fort de Bellegarde, Southern France The small number of pipes found in the well in the fortress of Le Bellegarde cannot possibly be representative of the pipes smoked by the soldiers during the long period in which they were stationed there. |

However, the pipes provide a clue as to the variety that might be found in the future. Some of the pipes originate from the near vicinity, e.g. from Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie or Palamos, Spain; but most have a more distant provenance such as the Netherlands, Saint Omer or Givet. Thus the pipes provide less information about the smoking habits of the inmates of the fort than about the markets of the relevant pipemakers.

Arne Åkerhagen: Two plague-pipes from the Tessin Two black clay pipes from the plague hospital in Bellinzona were probably intended to protect or cure the smoker(s) from the plague in the 17th and 18th centuries. The pipes have clearly been modelled by hand without the use of a mould. One of them has the unusual addition of feet at the base of the bowl; these would allow it to stand safely on a flat surface. The other pipe is marked with a large cross and "M J 1723", which were inscribed in the clay before firing. On the top of the stem is a large clay loop, which, however, is not connected to the bore of the stem. The black colour is clearly intentional and is uniform on the two pipes. Whether smoking these pipes really afforded some protection against the plague is, in view of present-day knowledge, more than doubtful. However, these two pipes give us an insight into the beliefs and hopes of people at the beginning of the 18th century, as well as into their attempts to escape from this dangerous disease. |

Rüdiger Articus: A pipestem from Sborovsky in Hamburg During excavations in the old part of Hamburg in 1995, a pipe stem inscribed with "SCHLES", indicating that it comes from Sborovsky (Zborowskie) in Upper Silesia, was picked up as a random find. This stem, which dates from the second half of the 18th century, is so far the only evidence that pipes from Upper Silesia found their way to Hamburg. |
