Ingalls Surveyor Archaeological  Handpick (Patiche)

Ingalls Archaeological Supply offers handpicks specifically designed for archaeological work.

Each Ingalls Archaological Handpick - also known as "Patiche" - is 12 inches long with a hickory handle and a heat-treated alloy steel head.

The heads have a digging radius to facilitate cutting vertical balk walls, and beveled edges for raking loose rubble.

Ingalls picks come in four sizes based on the hoe width

For general exploration as well as daily on-site use.

The 40mm (approx. 1 ⁹/₁₆ ") hoe width makes this tool suitable for daily dig site use and careful debris removal from around larger artifacts, rocks, stone blocks, etc.
