Screen Vendors

I've used Stoney Knoll too and they look just like Archmat screens that were made in New Hampshire by a Navy Vietnam vet that I had the pleasure of speaking to once. I couldn't get the screen rushed order as he was visiting his mom with emphysema in Connecticut at the time. Quite frankly the only difference I can see anyway is the Archmat ones had a trowel holder (a small block of wood with enough space to take the blade of a trowel. Does someone know the story? Is it the successful succession of a design that was favored by us the consumer? Or a spontaneous invention? If you want a really good stationary screen for large volumes, Bruce Fullem once (?) of NY's SHPO, designed one that pushes back after every push you give it and works well at a stationary point, as it has to be driven into the ground. I've used it on a Hudson River terrace prehistoric site in summer, with 12 allowable C14 dates (might have been as many as 30) and on the winter excavation of the West Point Foundry "workers houses" thought 2 out of five might have been built by Virginians, i.e., like the ones in Glassie's study of architectural house "footprints" in Virginia the two closest to the foundry core) and with the four legged flexible steel with welded hinges holding a screen box, will process six buckets of dirt at a time! Once sold at another archaeology supply co. that disappeared, in NYC, called "Archeon" I think, Joel Grossman, Ph.D. had one welded up from Mr. Fullem's sketches. ---------------- Now playing: The Audience - I Wanna Be Your Man via FoxyTunes
