Engraved Stone Pipe

This is one of two platform smoking pipes recovered at the Town Creek site (31Mg3). Pipes of this style, commonly referred to as "monitor" pipes due to similarity in shape to the U.S.S. Monitor, are comprised of a bowl situated in the center of a flat or curved platform. Inspired by a popular style developed by the Hopewell Culture of the Ohio River Valley, this is likely a locally-made interpretation and is made from a dark green chlorite schist. This pipe has several engraved designs, including various geometric shapes and lines, an inverted anthropomorphic figure of the iconic "birdman" on the back of the bowl, and possibly a depiction of corn on one side. It was found in a pit feature at the northern end of the plaza (Sq. 70L50 Pit 26). It measures 73mm long, 53mm high, and 37mm wide. This model was constructed by David Cranford with 96 photos using Agisoft Metashape software.

Monitor）铁甲舰，常被称为莫尼特式烟斗（monitor pipes），其结构为在平坦或弧形平台的中央设有烟锅。该烟斗的设计灵感源自俄亥俄河谷霍普韦尔文化（Hopewell Culture）流行的烟斗形制，推测为本地仿制版本，材质为深绿色绿泥片岩（chlorite schist）。该烟斗带有多处雕刻纹饰，涵盖各类几何形状与线条；烟锅背面刻有标志性“鸟人”的倒立人形形象，其中一侧或雕刻有玉米图案。该烟斗出土于遗址广场北端的坑穴遗迹（70L50探方26号坑）。其尺寸为长73毫米、高53毫米、宽37毫米。该三维模型由David Cranford使用96张照片，通过Agisoft Metashape软件制作完成。（鸣谢：NCDNCR/OSA）数据集来源：Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
