auger

Tool for boring holes. Originally, a carpenter's tool, with a cutting edge and a screw point, manipulated by means of a handle at right angles to the shank. In archaeology a large auger is used to collect sediment and soil samples below ground without hand excavation, or to determine the depth and type of archaeological deposits. The auger may be hand- or machine-powered.
