They were found in 2008 and 2009, in archaeological contexts dated to the I 6th_ 17th c., along with other elements relevant for chronology: stratigraphy and currency.

This article presents 30 clay pipes from the collection of the National History Museum of Romania. The clay pipes have different provenance: archeological excavations, donations and acquisitions. The general criteria, used for cataloguing these objects, were established by the papers of Rebecca Robinson (Corinth and Athens) and Iuliana Costea, Aurel Stănică, Adina Ignat (Babadag, Tulcea County). The series will continue to present other such objects discovered throughout recent preventive archaeological excavations conducted by the National History Museum of Romania.
