Don’t know if #TrowelThursday is a thing, but saw a toot and loved it. Years ago I found a letter, written in 1808 by #Cunnington, which has the first reference to a “mason’s #trowel” in #archaeology (https://reader.exacteditions.com/issues/53767/page/41?term=invisible+pioneers). Still some of my favourite research, because trowels are TOTEMIC! It’s also why I’m proud of my own trowel - a gift from my father-in-law who seriously upgraded it! Forget Golden #Marshalltown meet Carbon Fibre #WHS :-)
