Abstract

During the work of the joint mission between Sohag University and Mainz University at the Western Mountain region of Assiut, large numbers of Islamic ceramic and pottery finds were discovered, and most of these finds are fragments of pots belonging to different types of Islamic ceramics and pottery, such as unglazed pottery, and painted pottery. Monochrome glazed porcelain, undercoated porcelain, imitation of Tang Dynasty porcelain, and Chinese porcelain. I have published research on some of these finds, and I still have an action plan to complete the publication of the rest of them.
Among what was discovered during the mission’s work, a group of Shubuk (smoking pipes) did not belong to the aforementioned group of ceramic and pottery finds, neither in terms of the nature of use, nor in terms of the era to which they belong, so I chose to publish and study these Shubuks  in this independent study.
