PIPE CERAMICE DESCOPERITE LA MANGALIA

Abstract: In this article we present 22 pipes and fragments of pipes discovered along many years
of systematic or preventive excavations in Mangalia. These are Turkish pipes that were widely spread in
the Balkans in 18
th
-19
th
century. Some of the clay pipes bear monogram stamps and less visible marks
suggesting that reproductions from less famous centres in the Ottoman Empire circulated in the area.
