摘要

摘要William Samson Vaux先生是19世纪一位热情的矿物、文物和硬币收藏家。他对科学,特别是考古学和地质学充满兴趣,收集了无与伦比的美洲原住民文物,后来捐赠给了费城自然科学院。如今,这些发现被布林莫尔学院收藏。收藏中包括一个值得注意的密西西比肖像管。这根管子由石头雕刻而成,描绘了一个被响尾蛇包围的鸟人,手里拿着一块矮胖的石头。这篇文章从文化、历史和宗教的角度考察了这根管子。它还探讨了管道的真实性这一更大的问题。最终,我们认为这根管子几乎可以肯定是一根原始的密西西比管,是对已知密西西比肖像管的重要补充。此外,它的研究强调了博物馆藏品在提供有关过去社会和考古史的新信息方面的潜力。

A Problematic Mississippian Pipe from the William Vaux Collection
ABSTRACT William Samson Vaux, Esq., was an enthusiastic nineteenth-century collector of minerals, artifacts, and coins. Passionately interested in the sciences, particularly archaeology and geology, he amassed an unparalleled collection of Native American artifacts that he later donated to the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. Today these finds are housed by Bryn Mawr College. Included in the collection is a noteworthy Mississippian effigy pipe. Carved from stone, the pipe depicts a Birdman encircled by rattlesnakes and holding a chunkey stone. This article examines the pipe in its cultural, historical, and religious contexts. It also explores the larger question of the pipe’s authenticity. Ultimately, we argue that the pipe is almost certainly an original Mississippian pipe and an important addition to the corpus of known Mississippian effigy pipes. Moreover, its study highlights the potential of museum collections to provide new information about both past societies and the history of archaeology.
