GUAJARDO, Ángela; ZORZI, Flavia  and  SCHAVELZON, Daniel. Una pipa de terracota hallada en el sitio Leonor Cepeda 952, Santiago de Chile. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2017, vol.18, n.2, pp.221-231. ISSN 1850-373X.

A smoking pipe bowl molded in terracotta recovered from a late nineteenth to early twentieth century context in the Leonor Cepeda 952 site, municipality of Independencia, Santiago de Chile is described. The morphological, technological, and stylistic characteristics of this artifact are presented and associated with similar pieces found in other areas to guide chronological identification and place of origin. Accordingly, the pipe is characterized as an industrial object, most likely produced in central-southern Italy in the late nineteenth century. The find adds new evidence for this kind of pipe, as yet insufficiently studied by researchers in the region and often poorly cataloged. The pipe discovered in the Independencia commune, a territory belonging to the old district of La Chimba, is the first of its kind recorded in the city of Santiago. This find is particularly relevant as it constitutes a new precedent in the study of social phenomena that developed in the area during the nineteenth century, of which apparently little information exists.

Keywords : Oriental pipe; Santiago de Chile; XIXth-XXth centuries.
