The Marshalltown ATH114S Archaeology Pointing Trowel is the 4 x 2 inch London-pattern pointing trowel that field archaeologists request by name, packaged with a leather belt holster for site work. The single-piece forged high-carbon steel blade is sharpened to a fine edge, holding the cutting line through soil and clay that would dull a softer trowel after a single dig.
Use it as the field archaeology trowel of choice on dig sites, fine-detail masonry pointing, mortar joint repair on historic restoration, brick repointing where the smaller blade reaches into tight joints, lab and conservation work, and any masonry job where a 4-inch pointing trowel is the right size. The leather holster slips onto a belt and protects the blade from grit and pocket damage between excavation passes.
Marshalltown has been forging masonry tools in Marshalltown, Iowa since 1890 and remains the trusted American brand on professional archaeology dig sites and historic restoration crews. The ATH114S carries Marshalltown’s lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
