Peter Davey - Trustee
Peter Davey carries out research into the archaeology and social history of tobacco pipes and pipe smoking in the early modern and modern periods. His research focuses on different periods and topics around the world from the initiation of pipe smoking in western Europe in the late 16th century, to the relationship between archaeological and documentary sources in the study of recent historic periods. In particular he is interested in the social and economic interpretation of groups of clay tobacco pipes from controlled archaeological excavations. His main current project is the analysis and publication of pipe assemblages from the Isle of Man, in particular from excavations carried out at Rushen Abbey between 1913 and 2016. He is also interested in the pipe as a statement of cultural and personal identity and of its use in the assessment of the relationship between differing cultural groups, especially on political frontiers, such as for example that of the Ottoman Empire.
