Hey Mark,

A refuse pit at the Fort Drummond Site (1815-1828) contained a high
concentration of unused clay pipes, perhaps as a result of a damaged
shipment that was discarded. All 127 (MNV) bowls found in the pit were the
impressed "TD" within a shield. We counted 98 spurs with "WG", and 16 spurs
with "TD".
