Summary/Abstract: In this article we present 22 pipes and fragments of pipes discovered along many years of systematic or preventive excavations in Mangalia. These are Turkish pipes that were widely spread in the Balkans in 18th-19th century. Some of the clay pipes bear monogram stamps and less visible marks suggesting that reproductions from less famous centres in the Ottoman Empire circulated in the area.
