Archaeology Pointing Trowel
The MARSHALLTOWN Archaeology Pointing Trowel has a London style blade measuring 4 x 2 inches. The heavy-duty blade is forged from a single piece of high carbon steel and can withstand more pressure when scraping and cutting through compacted sediment and soil. Made in the USA with Global Materials.

Got it for my field school and it’s lasted me for quite a few digs now. Straight edges make for easy scraping and is extremely durable!

Schnelle problemlose Lieferung ohne großen Verpackungsmüll einer tollen Archäologenkelle.Bereits meine zweite Bestellung der Kelle, weil ich mit meiner ersten Kelle so zufrieden bin.Ich benutze die Kelle bei der Suche mit einem Metalldetektor für Grabungen.Die Kelle ist sehr stabil und schneidet und kratzt prima in den Boden ohne großen Kraftaufwand. Die Spitze ermöglicht punktgenaues Graben. Durch die Handlichkeit müssen auch keine riesigen Löcher entstehen, die Kanten ‚schneiden‘ geradezu in die Erde.Ihr merkt schon, ich bin überzeugt - Topp Produkt!!!Aus Gründen der Umweltverträglichkeit habe ich mich für die Version mit Holzgriff entschieden. Die ‚bessere Griffbarkeit‘ mit dem Plastikgriff ist m.E. zu vernachlässigen.

This thing is solid and ready to do some serious archaeology. If only Oklahoma had Roman, Saxon or Norman ruins. We do have ghost towns, fossils and Native American sites. This thing will work for you. And, to be honest, is handy when metal detecting.

This is a great trowel! It’s sturdy and durable. I’ve been using it for a fieldwork archaeology class I’m taking this summer. It was dull and unsharpened when I got it though. I had to take some time to really grind the dull edges down to get a good, sharp point. So far so good!

I used this on a month long archaeological dig outside of Rome this summer and it was exactly what I needed. she worked small, controlled, and concise wonders (a nod to all my fellow archaeologists) sifting ancient dirt to uncover fragile pottery, bronze, and bone. This is the prime tool for archaeological field work -- happy digging!

As always, there are no substitutes for the basic Marshalltown trowel, particularly for the discerning archaeologist. This is the smaller of the standard pointed models and therefore has a thicker blade with less wobble, for tougher cuts and corner work in the excavation unit. Being thicker, the blade will not sharpen to the degree of other models but this is pretty standard. The blade and handle bar are fully molded together (as opposed to the handle being simply welded to the top), making this an extremely durable model. I have trowled truly awful units (gravel, concretion, heavy roots, etc.) with no concerning wear. Beware Marshalltown copycats and the "modern" plastic handled models, which are often top welded and will snap off with pressure.

I am an archaeologist, and this trowel was my favorite for a while. I used it in Ireland where it got beat pretty badly with all of the rain, and I also use it in Delaware and Pennsylvania where it needed to work with a lot of rocky soil. I've had it about 2 years, where it held up with occasional sharpening.Favorite Features: the slim trowel point shape is unique and actually really helpful for tight spaces. Most of the trowels I've seen elsewhere are the thick headed ones. The handle is a classic Marshalltown, easy to hold and easy to engrave with your initials. Comfortable hold for anyone that likes to grab the handle at the top and pinch the blade with thumb and forefinger.Least Favorite Features: After 2 years of use, the head now swivels and came loose, so it is pretty much unusable now. I also wish Marshalltown would sell trowels that already have an edge, but putting an edge on it wasn't a big deal.I'll probably buy this exact model again, even though I am disappointed about the head breaking.
