chaotic-archaeologist:archaeologistproblems: archaeologistproblems:Bought the trowel on the left about 13 years ago when I was a student. It was the same size and shape as the one on the right at the time. It’s seen more than a little dirt since then. Follow-up pro tip for the budding archaeologists in the tags who are sadly trowel-less: You don’t need to order a specialty archaeology trowel online or anything. My very well-loved pointing trowel was I think $20CAD or less at a home improvement store in the masonry section. Go for a Marshalltown if you can (I think this one was, but the name’s long since worn away), or another brand that has the blade and the tang as one solid piece, not connected with a rivet, because that crap will get wobbly and/or break. MARSHALLTOWN | Pointing TrowelsHere’s a link to the Marshalltown website, specifically the archaeology trowel section. You can get them on Amazon, or at a lot of other supply stores like Home Depot, Menards, or Lowes. The website is great if you want a holster, but I’d definitely recommend going to a supply store instead of online if money is tight - the Marshalltown website will only allow me to select “Yes” to the leather holster, which costs more than the trowel itself, and makes the whole kit cost $30. A pointing trowel with a wooden handle should only cost you $10-$20. My local home store lists it as $10.40CAD.
