The Marshalltown
Manufactured by the
A 1982 American Anthropologist article, "The Golden Marshalltown: A Parable for the Archeology of the 1980s," relates an exchange between a younger version of an American archaeologist Kent V. Flannery and an experienced older archaeologist.[3] The "Old Timer" likens an archaeologist's first trowel to "a major leaguer's first Wilson glove." According to the Old Timer, his trowel has accompanied him to many famous dig sites, such as Snaketown, Angel Mound, and the Dalles of the Columbia, and is now a legendary item in its own right. Within the greater article, the Old Timer and his trowel represent the "glory days" of American archaeology and stand in opposition to the pragmatic realities of "new" archaeology in the 1980s and beyond.
