Building on recent work by Braun [2012. “Petrography as a Technique for Investigating Iroquoian Ceramic Production and Smoking Rituals.” Journal of Archaeological Science 39: 1–10, 2015. “Ritual, Materiality, and Memory in an Iroquoian Village.” PhD diss., University of Toronto] and Smith and Major [2010. Ceramic Smoking Pipes.” In Report on the Salvage Excavation of the Antrex Site (AjGv-38): City of Mississauga, Regional Municipality of Peel, Ontario, 78–91. Toronto: Archeological Services.], this investigation examines the potential for emulative learning in Late Woodland Iroquoian pipe manufacture. A comparative analysis of experimental data and pipe specimens recovered from the Antrex site highlights the considerable morphological variability in both assemblages, and suggests that pipe manufacture at Antrex may have been the product of emulative adoption guided by the visible aspects of ceramic convention
