Clay pipe Aberdeen (18th cent).

Smoking was a popular pastime from when tobacco was first brought from South America in the 16th century. Pipes were usually made from clay and continued to be so until the end of the 19th century, even though wooden ones were available. Most pipes were plain or only decorated simply. This is an early example of a clay pipe, dating from the later 17th century. It is quite substantial but has a small bowl. It is decorated with a fringe of small vertical incised lines around the rim of the bowl. This is a well-preserved example of an early clay pipe from NE Scotland. Normally they are only preserved in pieces because they are fragile, and because they broke in use they were thrown away.
In Europe about 3000-1700 BC, from the late Neolithic into the Bronze Age, flat-based, finely made pots, known as beakers, were widespread. They have an S- or Z-shaped profile, and are decorated with bands of fine incised geometric pattern. In NE Scotland the Northern beaker types are associated with the introduction of metal working and are often found in individual cist burials, both probably related to settlement of people from Europe. Later beakers were made locally, and often have archaic or idiosyncratic features. This is a Late Northern type with an S-shaped profile and a flaring neck and a very small base with a foot. The fabric is coarse, although the vessel is not heavily made, and the impressed decoration is unevenly applied. There are two bands of lines, cross-hatching, chevrons and fringes around the belly and neck, separated by plain zones. Around the foot runs a continuous large, striped triangular pattern. The beaker was found in a cist at Parkhill, Quarry, Durris, Kincardineshire. Four other cists, with beakers were found at the same location.
This is one of a large number of images of the Stuart dynasty in general in the university collection. These images attest to Stuart Royal patronage of King's College and later to the prolonged Jacobite sympathies of both King's and Marischal Colleges. In particular there are a large number of images, particularly engravings, of Mary, reflecting her role as one of the cast of 'hero' figures from Scottish history in whom much of nineteenth century Scottish identity was invested. This is a photographic reproduction after a painting in the Prince's Chamber in the House of Lords. It is one of a series of 'Tudor Portraits' produced by students of the Royal School of Art, South Kensington.

Carved wooden lime spatula, decorated with female figure with glass beads (red), and shell beads (red). Hunt(1981): 'Betel chewing is practised widely in Melanesia. The betal mixture consists of nut of the areca palm, fruit or leaves of the betel pepper, and lime made by burning coral or shells. The lime is kept in bamboo vessels or gourds and is taken with a wood or bone spatula.'

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Spatulae Spatulae were used by New Guinean people when they chewed 'betel-nut'. The seed from the areca palm tree nut is mixed with the leaf or fruit of the betel plant and lime from burnt coral or shells. When it is chewed this mixture creates bright red saliva and a feeling of happiness and extra energy. There is an interesting contrast between the traditional spatula (8) and the one made from a ruler (9), which reflects the contact with European objects.
Toddy ladle (late 18th - early 19th cent).
Two kiln stands used to support pots when firing Castle Hill, Rattray (13 - 14 cent).
found in Kemnay, Aberdeenshire.
The Inuit of Arctic America used all the natural resources that were available to them, particularly animals, such as seal, caribou, walrus and whales, and they processed their skins, bones, tendons and even intestines into food, clothing, and equipment. They had a number of scrapers and knives developed to help in this work, for scraping and cutting skins and processing tendons. This is a scraper, or 'Tesirqun', used for scraping the hides of prey animals, particularly seals, before they were made into clothing and equipment. The iron, fan-shaped blade has a curved cutting edge and is convex, and is set into a slot in a curved bone handle. The crescentic cutting edge of the curved blade, and the hooked handle retain the traditional form of a scraper made on a single piece of bone, but this has been adapted to material traded from Europeans. The scraper comes from Chesterfield Inlet, Hudson Bay, Canada and dates from the beginning of the 20th century.
During the medieval period pottery techniques, including firing and glazing, improved greatly and the craft became industrialised. Large kilns were built in which batches of vessels could be fired. These are two of three kiln stands which were found in a kiln at Castle Hill, Rattray, Aberdeenshire, a medieval burgh. The kiln stands are wheel-thrown in a hard red sand-tempered fabric and are heavily rilled. Their profile is concave and the base wider than the rim. There are traces of green glaze on both, possibly dropped from the pots they supported, and there is blackening from being in the kiln. They date from the 14th century. These kiln stands would have been used, inverted, to hold pots upside down in the kiln during firing.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Breast Plates These two objects, each known as a civa vono vono in Fiji, was worn on ceremonial occasions as a sign of rank. No 3 is made of trochus shell, sperm whale tooth and cotton. Cotton was not grown in Fiji and would have been imported from abroad. No 4, is displayed from the back to show how it has been made with sections of sperm whale tooth sewn together with thread made from hibiscus bark. William Macgregor (1846-1919) served the British Colonial Office for 14 years in Fiji (1875-1888), primarily as Chief Medical Officer, but also holding offices such as Receiver-General, Colonial Secretary, Commissioner of Stamps and Acting Administrator. During the Neolithic in Britain, about 4000-2000 BC, accomplished flint knapping produced some highly finished items, such as arrowheads, knives, sickles and laurel leaf points. These, along with ground stone artifacts, were probably objects denoting high social status. This is a large and very competently-made round based, laurel leaf-shaped point made in grey flint. It is made on a flake and shaped by pressure flaking, leaving shallow flake scars over the surface. The edges have been sharpened by flat invasive retouch. The point was found in the Bog of Fintray along with other flint tools made mostly from a similar flint and also well made. The flint may come from outwith the Aberdeenshire area and the collection may indicate contacts with communities further south in Britain. This bronze socketed axe-head is part of a collection of bronzes donated to Marischal Museum, Aberdeen in July 1984. The donation included the donor's great-grandfather William Joyner's original collection of the Dingwall hoard of bronzes taken by him to Natal, South Africa in 1851 and two other bronzes. The hoard comprises two socketed axes, a sunflower pin-head and a rare neck-ring, all dating from the later Bronze Age, 1100-700BC and found together near Dingwall in the early 19th century. The two other bronzes became associated with the collection while in Africa and are probably of African origin. The hoard is of particular importance because it includes an example of a Bronze Age neck-ring, only two of which were previously known from Scotland. During the prehistoric period collections of metal or stone items, often of value to the community or individuals, were buried or deposited in wet places. Axeheads, swords, halberds and ornaments are often found in these hoards. The type of artefact found in a hoard is probably not typical of everyday objects. However, the associations of different objects can help to establish the dates of artefact types.
