Title A name given to the resource Pipestem Bore Hole Size Chart from Hume's <em>A Guide to Colonial Artifacts in America</em> Description An account of the resource The bore hole’s size on the pipe stem, 6/64”, is its primary clue to when the pipe is from. A chart from Hume’s A Guide to Artifacts of Colonial America shows the variations of bore hole diameters in pipestems that prove what is commonly referred to as ‘The Harrington Theory,’ which is what most pipestem dating is based around (Hume 1970). This theory states that bore hole sizes are consistent with specific time periods, and years of digging around Harvard Yard have proven this theory to be correct due to material culture found in the context surrounding the pipestems.

Title A name given to the resource The Lawes of the Colledge published publiquely before the Students of Harvard Colledge Description An account of the resource These bylaws were created by the overseers of the college to protect their students from overindulging in activities that could be portrayed as sinful. The students were forbidden from bringing tobacco and strong alcohol to their rooms, as these activities were not sinful if used within reason. Storing these items in a student’s bedroom could be seen as storing an excess of imbibements, which could be why so many pipestems were found together in trash heaps near the Old College.

Title A name given to the resource Portrait of Increase Mather Subject The topic of the resource The president of Harvard College from 1686-1701 was Increase Mather, a puritan minister. Due to his ministry and religious belief, he would have likely signed off on permitting the use of tobacco and alcohol for pleasure. The proximity of administrators such as Mather to the students could have compelled students to go near the old college to partake in smoking their pipes.

Title A name given to the resource White clay pipestem 6/64" bore hole diameter Subject The topic of the resource Imagine you are a student at Harvard in 1680, trying to study for your Latin or Greek quiz tomorrow when the smell of pungent tobacco fills the air, leading to you opening the windows to the punishing winter outside. Your bunkmate and his friends have decided to light their pipes and smoke tobacco once the preceptors have fallen asleep, indulging in a taboo habit for a puritanical institution such as Harvard in the 17th century. After they finished their smoke, they threw their pipes out of the window into a trash pile below. Harvard had strictly permitted excess tobacco use, stating that one could not bring “tobacco…[to] his Chamber…[so] that all excesse and abuse thereof may bee prevented. (Overseers President and Fellowes of Harvard College 1655)” This could have led to many situations such as stated above, and students might have thrown their evidence into various trash pits around campus. These students might not have been using tobacco for pleasure; there weren’t many doctors around, and many might have reached for a cure-all, like today’s equivalent of an ibuprofen. Many artifacts, such as this one, have been found around campus, and the material culture in the context has indicated the creation of this type of pipe stem from 1680-1720.
