Given recent questions and worries about trowels, you will be glad to know that BAJR (via the sister site Past Horizons) has now made a bold step and can confirm that over a thousand trowels will be available from early August.
We will make a full announcement in the very near future, but hope to provide everyone who needs them with the new archaeology WHS wooden handled 4" trowel. I am currently working on a robust order system where orders and a date of delivery will be confirmed prior to any payments being made.
My wife Maggie is taking full control of this business, and we hope that in time we will provide what you need, when you need it and a price that will make you smile. We are already looking out for competitavely priced and hard to find deals to pass on to you.. from permatrace to small orders of 300 gauge ziplock bags and from scale rules to knee pads. We will put in the work to bring you the equipment you want and ask for... (a forum will be available for feedback and suggestions).
Thats the future though.. until then, rest assured that a large stock of WHS trowels will be available from early August. This is going to be hard work, but it feels like a sensible service to offer.
If you wish to pre-order - please wait for the full details - Watch this space! But don't worry ... we have bought enough for all.
Price for an individual trowel = £14 plus p&p
there will be a discount for larger orders.

hotogrammetry is the technique of measuring from photographs. A three-dimensional optical model is constructed from two photographs and can be accurately measured on a measuring instrument to give either graphical or digital results. Alternatively, a great deal of information can be obtained just by viewing the subject in three dimensions, and the photographs can be measured using simple graphical techniques, though with a much lower level of accuracy. The main advantage to the archaeologist in using photogrammetry lies in the speed of on-site recording and the vast amount of detail that can be retrieved from the images. Photogrammetry is also useful when the subject is either fragile or inaccessible, since it involves no contact with the subject. The main disadvantages are the cost of using expensive instrumentation and the delay in obtaining the results after the photography has been completed. When archaeologists use photogrammetry, they should work in close cooperation with a professional photogrammetrist.
