Abstract

Early-modern-age clay tobacco pipes from the River Drava region. The study analyses Ottoman clay tobacco pipes from the River Drava region (Barcs, Babocsa, Szigetvar). Some are stray finds, but many of those from Barcs are from the Ottoman palisaded stronghold there, from its Ottoman layer. The study fills a gap in the literature in that it presents hitherto unpublished pipe finds from this region. The goal of the research was to establish whether in addition to characteristics that were uniform countrywide, regional features, too, could be pointed out, and whether there were links between pieces which permitted the hypothesising of common workshops or trade routes. In the background of the similarities, waterborne trade conducted along the Drava and Danube rivers may be considered important, but other factors, too, may have had a role, e.g. various population movements and also redeployments of soldiers. In the light of the written data, Szigetvar had a workshop which produced clay tobacco pipes; kindred finds from the region can, perhaps, be brought into connection with this workshop. | A tanulmany Drava-videki torok pipakat dolgoz fel (Barcs, Babocsa, Szigetvar). Reszben szorvany leletekről van szo, de a barcsiak kozul tobb az oszman palankvar asatasabol, retegből szarmazik. A tanulmany hianypotlo, ugyanis erről a teruletről eddig nem kozoltek torok, illetve kora ujkori pipas emlekanyagot. A kutatas celja annak megallapitasa volt, hogy az orszagosan egyseges jellemzők mellett kimutathatok-e regionalis jegyek, vannak-e olyan kapcsolodasok, amelyek alapjan kozos műhelyek, kereskedelmi utvonalak feltetelezhetők. A hasonlosagok hattereben fontosnak tekintjuk a Drava-Duna menten zajlo kereskedelmet, de befolyasolo szerepe lehetett egyeb tenyezőknek is, igy a kulonfele nepessegmozgasoknak, katonai athelyezeseknek. Irodalmi adatok szerint Szigetvaron pipakeszitő műhely műkodott; a terseg rokonithato leletei talan eppen a szigetvari műhellyel hozhatok osszefuggesbe.
