BACkGROUND AND CHRONOLOGICAL REVIEW OF THE PERTINENT LITERATURE
The first article to mention more than one or two examples of President pipes was Calver’s article onHistoricalClayPipes(1931).Calverdepictssixwhiteballclaypipeswithintegralstems:theBuchananrebus1pipe(foundinexcavationsinCentralParkNewYork),fullbustpipesofLincoln,GeneralGrant,GroverCleve-land,BenjaminHarrisonandonewithpatrioticemblemson both sides said to be a memento of Lincoln’s first campaign.HementionsthatBarneySpringmadepipesoftheBuchanantypein1856.However,CalverdoubtedthatSpringmadethisspecimen.HealsodetailssomeofSpring’smanufacturinghistoryandlocations.Calverdoesnotillustrateanyspecimensofdetachablestemtobaccopipes.

The article by Thomas is the first to specifically show the full bust head of a “philosopher” style andrefer to it as a General Grant pipe. The style looksmuchmoreliketheJohnTaberproducedpipesthantheknownGermanexamples.Hementionsthatitappearsto match those illustrated in theWatkins book Early

ORIGIN OF THE GERMAN PRESIDENT PIPES Germananthropomorphicreed-stemtobaccopipes,“stummelpfeifen”,literally“stubpipes”,ofthemid19thcenturyarefrequentlyfoundinarchaeologicalexcava-tions in the United States. They were specifically made for exporttoAmericaandtheGermanpipemakersbelievedtheywereforusebyslaveslivingoncottonplantations;hence they were sometimes called “Sklavenpfeifen”(slavepipes)and“Negerpfeifen”(Negropipes)(Anony-mousn.d.b,Stephan1995).Butaswillbeseenin thediscussionbelow,thisnotionisnotsupportedbyavailablearchaeologicalevidence.Amongthevarietiesofstum-melpfeifenareportrayalsofAmericanpresidentsorotherAmerican political figures. This has led some American archaeologiststosuggestthattheyarepresidentialcam-paign promotional items (c.f. Cresthull 1969:52).ThegeneralfeelingamongmanyAmericanarchaeologistshasbeenthattheywereproducedintheUnitedStates.(c.f.Sudbury1979:Plate30;Hudsonetal.1974:66,Figure19)However,inGermany,theGermanoriginsofthesepipesandtheirexporttotheUnitedStatesarewellknownandwelldocumented(Anonymousn.d.b,Seeliger1993,Stephan1995).TwotownsinGermanyabout40kmapart,UslarinLowerSaxonyandGrossalmerodeinHesse,areknowntohavebeencentersfortheproductionofthesepipes.PresidentpipesproducedattheseGermanmanu-facturingsitesincludeGeorgeWashington,HenryClay,ZacharyTaylor,LewisCass,MillardFillmore,FranklinPierce,and“Philosopher”(a.k.a.U.S.Grant).(Stephan1995;Gartley2003;Sudbury2003.)
PIPE PRODUCTION IN USLAR The Uslar municipal museum provided historicalinformationaboutthepipeindustryinUslar(Anonymousn.d.b).Thefollowingsummaryisbasedonthisinforma-tionandSeeliger(1993).ThemanufactureofclaypipesinUslarbeganin1767withthearrivalofanexperiencedpipemaker from Neuweid. The first products were long-stemmedwhiteclaypipes,with theproductionof thisstylecontinuingthroughthe19thcentury.Manyofthesepipesweremodeledafter thewidelydistributedpipesmadeatthattimeinHolland.ExportsfromUslartotheUSAandeventoHollandbeganaroundtheendofthe
18thcentury.PeterW.Meseke,thesonoftheUslarpipe-makerAugustMeseke,settledintheUSAin1836,andremainedforabout20years.Whileinthestates,MesekedealtinimportedpipesfromUslar.Duringthatperiodmuch of the pipe production in Uslar was specifically destinedfor theAmericanmarket; in1845 therewere4.5millionpipebowlsexportedtotheUSA,principallyto the southern states.The export trade peaked at 11millionpiecesin1866.TheStummelpfeifenportrayedAmericanpresidents in three-dimensions, forexampleGeorgeWashingtonandFranklinPierce(Figure1),orother likenesses,forexampleHenryClay,LewisCassand“Turks”).Theywereglazed invariouscolorsandmadeforsmokingwithawoodenstem.Accordingtotheinformationfromthemuseum,thedeclineoftheAmeri-canbusinesswastriggeredononehandbytheturmoiloftheAmericanCivilWar,andontheotherhandbytheemergenceofAmericanpipeproduction.Moreover,thesourceoflocalpipeclaywasexhausted,sothatinthefinal years of the pipe business at Uslar the required clay hadtobeshippedfromGrossalmerode.Thelastfactorydiscontinuedproductionin1918.
PIPE PRODUCTION IN GROSSALMERODE Archaeological finds place the beginning of white claypipeproductioninGrossalmerodeataround1650.Inapproximately1830theproductionof“Stummelpfeifen”forexport to theUSAbegan.Asonof thepipemakerHeinrich Goebel spent some time inAmerica dealinginpipesfromGrossalmerode.In1845,Grossalmerodeexported13,412hundredweightsofpipes toAmerica.Stephan calculates that this would amount to a mini-mumof13.5millionpipes(Stephan1995:66).Dataforseven producers in the period 1864-1866 shows that95%oftheirproductsweresoldinthewholesaletradetoAmerica.Duringthe1860’s,changesinthepoliticalsituation in theUSAwereresponsibleforamajorde-creaseindemandforGermanpipesandasaresult,mostpipemakersinGrossalmerodewereoutofbusinessby1872withoneworkinguntil1915(Seeliger1993).

AMERICAN COPIES OF GERMAN “STUMMELPFEIFEN”
SomeAmericanpipefactoriesproducedimita-tionsof the importedGermanproducts.However, theAmericancopiesarequitecrudecomparedtotheorigi-nals. Threeunglazedpipes(Sudbury1979:202,Plate30)foundat theMatthewDuncanpottery,whichoperatedfrom1856to1880inBastropCounty,Texas,areroughcopiesoftheGermanZacharyTaylorpipes.Theyexhibitall the design elements but not the fine details of the Ger-manpipes,suggestingthattheyweremadeinmoldscastfromaGermanoriginal.Moldsoforiginalobjectsareknowntoresultin“aninferior,weakandrelativelyun-detailedfacsimileoftheoriginal”(Anonymousn.d.c). An unmarked, unglazed “philosopher” pipe withatanbodyandaredslipwasfoundinan1850’sprivyinBaltimore,Maryland(Stilts,2002,personalcomm.).A gray glazed philosopher pipe with the same designfeaturesastheabovewasfoundintheColumbiaRiverGorge,Washingtonsite,whichwasoccupiedfromthe1820stothe1880s(Minor,Ricketal1979:Table10-19,Fig10-18a-f;Pfeiffer1989:Catalog1-4,6-9).ThesespecimensareverysimilartothoseillustratedbyStephan(Stephan1995:Figs.220,221,223,228,Plates11and12.), but they lack the fine details of the hair and beard oftheGermanexamples(Figure4).TheJohnTaberpot-terymadethesesomewhatinferiorcopiesoftheGermanphilosopherpipesinEastAlton,NewHampshire(Sud-bury1979:170,171,Plate4-15)duringthe1864-1872period.

ABSTRACT Thisarticledescribesthemethodologyandapplica-tionof latexpeel technology for documentingnaturalandculturalstratigraphy.Thetechniquesdiscussedarefor mounting a cleaned profile surface layer, several mil-limeters thick, upon a permanent flexible backing. Latex peels are rapid and inexpensive to construct, portableand compact.Their use permanently and accuratelydocumentsdetailsofdepositionalstrata,soilhorizons,micro-stratigraphy, and fabric of unconsolidated sedi-ments.They are valuable for recording cultural strataincludingoccupationlevels,stains,andfeaturesforfuturereferenceinthelaboratory.

Latex peels are easily constructed on profiles exposed during the excavation process. In most circumstancesthe profile itself remains undamaged while taking the peel.Becausetheclothandlatexbackingofthepeelisflexible, the finished peels may be either attached to rigid backingfortemporaryviewingorrolledupandboxedfor permanent storage. Peels constructed at the SplitRockRanchsitewere rolled for transportandstorageand were subsequently unrolled several times for theanalysisandeducationalpurposes.Inthe21yearssincetheirconstructionthepeelsremaindurableandpliable.Althoughindividualgrainshavefallenoffnoneofthepeelssustainedanymajordamageorattrition.Becausethepeelremovesalayerofsediment,thesoilcolorsofsedimentaryandculturalstrataarewellpreservedandinsomecasessoilstructure,e.g.,massive,blocky,columnar,may also be preserved.When completed, latex peelsprovide permanent documentation of unconsolidatedsediments.They provide an accurate record of macroandmicro-stratigraphyandsoilhorizonation,aswellasthespatialrelationshipsofobservableculturalstrata.

HAFTED STONE TOOLS: A LOOK AT HUNTER-GATHERER EXAMPLES FROM THE CENTRAL AND
NORTHWESTERN PLAINS
BYCODY NEWTON
ABSTRACT Chippedstoneisaubiquitouspartoftheprehistorichunter-gathererarchaeologicalrecordintheGreatPlainsand Rocky Mountains. It has long been recognizedmany chipped stone tools represent one element of acompositetoolsystemwhichincludesotherperishablematerials,suchaswoodandanimalproducts.Becausetheselattermaterialsrarelypreserve,understandingtherole of stone tools in prehistoric contexts is difficult. Although rare, some complete examples of thesecompositetoolsdoexist.Inthispaper,publishedintactcompositetoolsfromhunter-gatherersitesinMontana,Wyoming, Colorado, and Nebraska are summarized.Thegoalofthisstudyistodecipherthetechnologicalorganizationofhaftedstonetoolsinordertobetterthetechnologicalroleofstonetools,whicharealargepartofthehunter-gathererarchaeologicalrecord.
INTRODUCTION LithicartifactsarethemostrecognizedandstudiedaspectofprehistoricmaterialcultureintheGreatPlainsandRockyMountainregion.Lithicmaterialsrepresentthemostdurableformofartifactandareoftentheonlyartifactstowithstandthedestructioncausedbyhumanandenvironmentalprocesses(Andrefsky2005:1).Thestudyofchippedstonehasbeenanessentialtoolinthearchaeological reconstruction of prehistoric hunter-gathererlifeways. Chipped stone assemblages from archaeologicalsitesoftencontain formal stone tools.These tools arean important component of not only lithic analysisbut overall site analysis as well. Projectile points, inparticular,areoftenusedtodistinguishbetweendifferentprehistoricgroupsandestablishchronology(e.g.,Frison1991;Mulloy1958).Beyondsiteassemblageanalysis,archaeologistsusereplicationandexperimentalstudiesto estimate the prehistoric use and effectiveness ofprojectile points (e.g., Frison 1991; Frison 2004;Hunzicker2005).
Experimental approaches allow archaeologiststo better understand the effectiveness of prehistorictechnology. Studies such as those by Browne (1938,1940)demonstratedthepotentialcapabilityofthebowandarrowsystem.Otherexperiments,suchasthosebyFrison (1989), showed these systems were capable ofat least fatallywoundingpreyanimals.Therearealsodata available through ethnohistoric accounts givinginsight into how prehistoric groups may have usedtheir weaponry (e.g., Swanton 1938). These accountshavegivenarchaeologistsinformationonhowthemoreperishable and underrepresented parts of a prehistoricweaponssystemcouldhavebeenorganized. Stonetoolsusedinbutcheringandfoodprocessinghave not received the same amount of analyticalattention as projectile points. Along with prehistoricweaponrysystems,certainbutcheryandfoodprocessingtools were part of composite systems. Enthnohistoricassemblages provide examples of these types ofcompletetools(FowlerandMatley1979;Nordenskiöld1979).Overall,however,studyofprehistoriccompositetools is hampered by the lack of complete specimensfromthearchaeologicalrecord. The manufacture and maintenance of compositetools isanacknowledgedaspectofprehistorichunter-gatherer technology throughout antiquity. Keeley(1982:798)states:
Stone implements have been haftedcertainly since the Upper Paleolithicand quite probably since the MiddlePaleolithic. The idea that many of thelithic artifacts recovered from siteswereoriginallyhafted is soobvious thatlengthy consideration of its significance seems pedantic and superfluous.
The fact hafting elements are acknowledged, yetlargely underrepresented in the archaeological record,isproblematic.Itlimitsourunderstandingofprehistorictools;despiteacknowledgmentofhafting,therecovered

lithicelementgenerallyrecoveredisoftentreatedasacomplete, independent tool. The labeling of chippedstone elements as “tools” is a misnomer because thisimpliestheyarecompleteandusable. Thistreatmentofchippedstonetoolsasindependenttools is inappropriate, especially because there arecompletehaftedtoolsrecoveredfromprehistoriccontextsthat do retain all of their elements, both perishableand non-perishable. The study of these artifacts cangive insight into the technologicalorganizationof theprehistoric hunter-gatherer groups that manufacturedandusedthem.
PURPOSE Hunter-gathererarchaeologydependsalmostsolelyonthematerialcultureleftbehindbyprehistoricpeople.Certainpartsofthismaterialculturedecaymorequicklythanothersandconsequentlytheseaspectsarelessunder-stood.Theperishablenatureofhaftedtoolelementsoftenprecludestheseartifactsfrompreservinginthearchaeo-logicalrecord.Considerationoftheeffectshaftingcouldhaveonourinterpretationsofthearchaeologicalrecordisoften neglected despite its significance (Keeley 1982:798-799).Thereareexamplesfromthearchaeologicalrecord,however, that retain theseperishablepartsandcanbestudied.Through the investigation of these examples,itmaybepossibletoinferbehaviorsandtechnologytootherartifactassemblageslesscomplete. Thestudyofcompletehaftedspecimenspermitsustoestimatewhatismissingfromassemblagesretainingonlypartofacompositewhole,whichisinmostcasesthelithiccomponent.Publishedcompletehaftedexamplesfromprehistorichunter-gatherersitesintheCentralandNorthwesternPlainshasbeencompiledandthissampleisanalyzedtoincreasetheknowledgebaseconcerninghafted tool typology and technological organization.Thoughthisstudyisnotcomprehensive(e.g.,thegrayliteraturewasomitted),theinformationpresentedpro-videsabaselineforfuturestudies
DATA COLLECTION Completeexamplesofhaftedstonetoolshavebeenrecovered from archaeological sites throughout thewesternUnitedStates.Theworkofearlyarchaeologistsinthearidregionsofthewestandsouthwestprovidedthemajorityoftheknownspecimens.SitessuchasLovelockCave (Loud and Harrington 1929) and Gypsum Cave(Harrington1933)inNevadaandsitesintheGreatSaltLake region excavated by Steward (1937) and others(see Aikens 1970; Cosgrove 1947; Gunnerson 1969;Jennings 1957; Jennings 1978; Wheeler 1973) haveyielded complete hafted specimens. Complete haftedstonetoolsfromnorthandeastoftheGreatBasinandUtaharelesscommon.Asmentionedabove,theCentral
and Northwestern Plains define the research area. This areawasdictatedbylogisticalconsiderations,butmostimportantly,wasselectedbecauseanypreviousstudyofthissortintheregionislacking. The data gathering process began with searchingtheregionalanthropologicaljournals,alongwithmorewidely diverse journals, such as American Antiquity.From here, a bibliography was started and potentialreferences were examined to determine if each sitecontained examples suitable for the study. Specimenswereincludedinthesampleifthechippedstoneelementwasstillcontainedinthehaftingelementsotherewasnoambiguityaboutthemannerofhaftingormaterialsused.Also,specimenswereconsideredcompleteforthepurposesofthisstudyevenifthehaftingelementwasincomplete(e.g.,ahaftedprojectilepointonabrokenshaft)because these tools stillhadallelementsof thehafting present. The final sample includes 26 complete examples from 15 sites or locales from Montana,Wyoming,ColoradoandNebraska(Figure1).
DATABASE Table1providesgeneral informationon the siteswherethehaftedtoolsusedinthissamplewererecoveredderived from published reports. As shown, there aresome basic similarities and constraints exhibited bythe sites permitting the recovery of complete haftedexamples.Allsitesarerockshelters,excludingHagen,whichisanopencampsite,andpossibly25FR22.Thedry depositional context of rockshelters favors thepreservation of perishable hafting elements.

Prehistoric people likely used haftedarrows and darts for cutting and knives may havebeenthrown,butthisdichotomyisusefulbecausethisanalysisisconcernedwithintendedtooluseratherthanincidentaltooluse. Thematerialtypesusedwerewoodorboneforthehandleorshaftandstoneforthebladeorpoint.Inthecases where the handle or shaft material was specified, thewoodorboneusedwasofalocallyavailablespecies.Thederivationofthelithicsishardertodiscernwithoutspecific sourcing of the material. The obsidian used forthebladeinSpecimen#1istheonlycaseinwhichthe material is definitely unavailable in the immediate site area.Thebindingelementsusedon theexamplesare mainly sinew, mastic, or both, with the exceptionofwillowsplintsandpinegumusedinSpecimen#23.Thebonehandledknivesshowatmostonlyonebindingelementwhereasthewoodenhandledknivesaremorevaried and exhibit multiple binding elements in somecases. When possible (n=10) the wrapping methodused on the arrow and dart specimens was recordedaccordingtoFigure2.AChi-Squaretestindicatesthereis a significant relationship between wrapping method A and the presence of notches (χ2=5.833,df=1, p=0.016).This probably indicates notching facilitated the crosswrapping method and was a more secure method ofhafting. Using the scaled figures provided in the publications, measurementsweretakenoneachspecimen(Table3).Figures3,4,and5describethemeasurementstakenforarrows/darts,side-haftedknivesandend-haftedknivesrespectively.Totallength(TL)andhandlelength(HL)wereonlyincludedinthetableforspecimenswithintacthandlesorshafts.Specimen#20isnotincludedbecausethe published figure did not include a scale.
ANALYSIS The hafted stone tools from the sample can begrouped based on morphological characteristicsprobably reflecting different prehistoric uses and technological considerations.The hafted points in thesample are categorized for use in either a bow andarroworatlatl anddart system.Therehasbeenmuchdebateoverhow todistinguishbetween theprojectilepoints used as darts and those used as arrowheads(BettingerandEerkens1999;NassaneyandPyle1999).Thomas (1978) presented a quantitative analysis ofhafted projectile points from museum collections todevelop classification equations that could be used to differentiatearrowheadsfromdartpointsinnon-haftedspecimens.Shott (1997) extendedThomas’s approachandincreasedthehafteddartsamplewithmoremuseum
specimens. This sample of hafted arrows and dartscontains specimens from predominately west of theRockyMountainsand thedesertSouthwest.Althoughthe Thomas and Shott samples contain no specimensfrom the Central and Northwestern Plains, becauseidentical measurements were used, specimens fromthisstudycouldbecomparedtoseeifthesamplesarestatisticallysimilar. TheThomassampleofhaftedarrows(n=132)wascomparedagainstthesample(n=7)fromthisstudy.T-testsindicate the two samples are not significantly different at the α=0.05 based on the variables of shoulder width (t=-0.449, df=137, p=0.654), neck width (t=-0.752, df=138,p=0.453),totalpointlength(t=-1.451, df=134, p=0.149)andshaftwidth(t=-0.502, df=138, p=0.616).An analysis of variance (ANOvA) between the dartsfrom Thomas (n=10), Shott (n=30) and this sample(n=2)indicatetheyarenotstatisticallydifferentbasedonthemutualvariablesofshoulderwidth(F(2,39)=0.062, p=0.940),neckwidth(F(2,40)=1.523, p=0.230)andtotalpoint length (F(2,39)=2.508, p=0.095). The similaritiesbetween the samples indicate a consistency in themanufacture of these hafted projectiles through space

Theknives(n=13)inthesampleexhibitsomebasicdesigndifferences.As indicatedbyStiger (2001:245),hafted stone knives fall into at least three categories:first, those with the blade hafted onto the end of a handle that is aswideorwider than theblade; second, thosehaftedontheendofahandlethatisnarrowerthantheblade;andthird,thosewiththebladehaftedontothesideofthehandle.Thissamplecontainsexamplesofhaftedstoneknivesfallingintoeachofthesecategories.

α=0.05 level (Figure 7). The high correlation between the width dimensions of these elements probably reflects need for the handle and blade to fit together for hafting, especiallyend-haftedknives.Handle lengthandbladelength are not significantly correlated; even in theside-haftedsample,wherethelengthcorrelationmightbe more important in hafting, there is no significant relationship(N=6, r=0.600, p=0.208).

CONCLUSIONS AND SPECULATIONSItisgenerallyacceptedthehandleorshaftelementsofahaftedtooltakemuchlongertomanufacturethanthelithicelements(Keeley1982:800).Therefore,itcanbeargued the haft elements of tools play a significant role in thetechnologicalorganizationofprehistoricpopulations(Oswalt1976).Thepaucityofprehistorichunter-gathererexamplesofhaftedstonetoolsisproblematicwhentrying
There are three artifacts (Specimen #’s 1, 3 and17)where the stoneblade iswider than thehandle towhichitishafted.Stiger(2001:245)suggeststhistypemightrepresentahaftedknifewhichcouldalsobeusedas part of a projectile point system.This seems to bethecaseforSpecimen#17,whichMulloy(1958:64-65)indicateswaspossiblyahaftedarrowpointinwhichtheshaftwascuttomakeitintoasmallknife.Specimen#1isanextremelysmallblademountedonanevensmallershaft. This size of this knife is intriguing and couldindicateaveryspecializedpurpose. The majority of the knives in the sample (n=7)havethebladehaftedintothesideofthehandle.Fourof these specimenshavehandlesmanufacturedout ofbone. Three of the handles are specified as bison bone.

The material used for the blades is only indicatedinthecaseofSpecimen#25whichismadeofquartzite. Looking at the variables separately by element(Figure6)indicatesthelengthandwidthofthebladesare significantly correlated at the α=0.01 level. This is not surprising given the limitations of manufacturingitems from chipped stone. Also, it is expected the specific intendedfunctionofaknifebladewoulddictateacertaintemplate.
