	Bethabara: Dobb's Parish Cemetery
		A posthole was clearly visible in the northeast corner of the excavation unit as a well-defined dark brown stain against the surrounding red orange subsoil (Figure 2,a).
		The posthole impression was very similar in form to the posthole excavated in EU 1; again the northern half tapered to a wedge - shaped point, which extended in only one corner of the hole to the maximum depth.
		The presence of two distinctly different posthole impressions (the one found on the southern berm by EU 2 in 1995 and the one reported by Snavely in 1985 on the western berm) may indicate that fence rows along the western and southern berm were not constructed or in existence at the same time.

	Posthole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In archaeology a posthole is a cut feature used to hold a surface timber or stone.
		Although the remains of the timber ('postpipe') may survive most postholes are mainly recognisable as circular patches of darker earth when viewed in plan.
		Packing stones are often present in postholes and it is not uncommon to encounter them dug in to earlier ditch features.

	Postpipe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In archaeology a postpipe (or post pipe) is the term given to the remains of an upright timber placed in a posthole.
		Under less preservative conditions however, only a dark circular stain of organic material may be left in the fill of the posthole observable in plan and section.
		This differs in consistency from the less organic backfill of the posthole and can be identified simply through this change in make-up.

		A total of 16 posthole tests were excavated at 50 foot intervals to depths of between 1.2 to 4.2 feet below surface depending upon the compact- ness of the underlying gravels above the coarse silty or clayey sands.
		Collectively, the posthole test and test unit yielded a total of 9 historic ceramic sherds together with several fragments of shell, brick, and glass (Table 1); all from disturbed contexts.
		In Section B, the 10 remaining posthole tests were excavated at 50 foot intervals along the edge of the high terrace between the Jack Baker Lobster Shanty rear parking lot and a small swampy area approximately 1,000 feet east of the parking lot.

		A few days later, the contractor removes and destroys the posthole digger to insure that no other employees are hurt, and also to alleviate the bad memories of the gruesome accident relating to the digger.

	Terrierman - Types of Posthole Diggers
		Used in a conventional fashion, the hole made by a posthole digger is too small to give the dog enough room to enter properly (or at all), and is also too small to easily extricate the quarry for dispatch.
		That said, I still carry a posthole digger on digs where I do not have to walk too far as I find that a posthole digger is a very useful tool when used in conjunction with a shovel.
		You want a "Hercules-style " posthole digger that has big and deep jaws, not the smaller and lighter "Atlas" type which is so light as to be useless unless you have a few postholes to dig for a very short fence line.

		The size of this feature, the incredibly dense packing of brick and limestone rubble in the hole surrounding the post, and its placement directly to the right of the main entry into the church suggests that it may represent one of the pillars supporting the belltower.
		While the upper portion of the posthole was round, the postmold itself was nicely square -- suggesting a post for a nice fence surrounding the church lot.
		Given the size and location of this posthole, we think it is probable that it was a gatepost for a gate into the Presbyterian Church graveyard to the east.

	Terrierman -- Digging to Your Dog
		A posthole digger is excellent here because it will remove the dirt cleanly.
		You will have to overlap the cutting circle of the posthole digger to form a hole that is about 10 inches across.
		If you are up to the quarry, it's important to block off the back end of the pipe before you pull the dog in order to prevent the critter from bolting back into the rest of the sette as soon as the dog is clear.

	Posthole (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The archaeological remains of postholes usually relate to three different events, the digging of the hole, Filling of the hole around the post, and the removal of the post by human activity or by the process of decomposition.
		Any artifact found in the posthole fill dates to the time of construction, any artifact found in the postmold (the soil where the post was either removed or rotted in place) dates after the destruction.
		If archaeologists are lucky enough to find datable artifacts in the postmold as well as the posthole, they can establish the construction and destruction date for the structure.

	IERD newsletter #14 March 1996 Drilling Holes in Ice to Reduce Ice Jam Potential
		Drilling holes in the ice cover in strategic reaches of the river to accelerate the deterioration of the icecover is one method that can be used to reduce the potential for ice jams.
		Drilling the holes with hand-held augers proved to be a laborious task, so in 1992 the city purchased a posthole digger that mounted on the back of a lawn and garden tractor to drill the holes in the ice (Fig.
		Although the posthole digger requires only one person to operate it, a second person is on site during the operation for safety purposes.

		We were a bit confused by how this posthole appeared on the surface when we began our investigations today.
		However, as we excavated the feature, it became quickly apparent to me that the strange shape was due to a large rodent burrow heading from the bottom of the photo into the posthole.
		After cleaning out the rodent burrow, we found the well defined posthole (outlined in blue) and the postmold.

		Breaking into the long-handled garden tools market, the company known for its iconic orange-handled scissors set out to reinvent a design that had been neglected for 50 years.
		Responding to a common complaint about posthole diggers -- you can't use one without banging your knuckles together -- Fiskars created a simple, sleek tool with a curved, ergonomic grip (and orange handles, of course) that digs deeper, narrower holes than traditional models.
		When it debuted at Home Depot with splashy in-store displays, the digger's instant sales success caught the attention of other home-improvement retailers, including Lowe's and Menards, the latter of which had never carried Fiskars large tools but immediately began stocking the hot item.
