Smoking accessories of XVII-XIX cc. from the taiga Low Chulym basin (South of West Siberia): pipes
One of the categories regarding attributes of tobacco smoking with Chulym Turki were smoking pipes from archaeological sites of XVII-XIX cc. In the taiga Low Chulym basin (south of West Siberia), the earliest finding of a pipe head relates to a Bukhara type, probably dating back to about the middle of XVII c. The Chulym Turki got acquainted with tobacco («Chinese ball») and smoking accessories in XVII c., most probably through Selkups. Later on, in XVIII-XIX cc., there were mainly pipes of a Bukhara type occurring with the Chulym Turki, together with appearance of pipes of a Russian type.
