Jacqui Pearce - Trustee

pearceJacqui Pearce is a specialist in medieval and later ceramics, with a particular interest in the clay tobacco pipe industry of the London area. She has been involved in the recording and analysis of clay pipe assemblages from archaeological excavations across London, and is particularly keen to view the artefacts associated with smoking alongside other evidence as part of the wider material culture of the post-medieval period.

She has been involved with the establishment of an online database of 17th-century stamped pipe makers’ marks from London. This is part of a wider ongoing project, which will be updated and expanded to include later marks in due course, in association with the development of a physical reference collection of London pipes. She has also worked on excavated clay pipe assemblages from Shrewsbury, Bath and Hertfordshire, and has a particular concern for encouraging clay pipe studies through teaching and workshops.
