When I think of archaeologists, I think of Daniel Jackson. I think of Sam Neill in Jurassic Park. I don't think of Indiana Jones, for all his glorified attention to the science. Indy is a relic hunter and archaeologists aren't grave robbers. The two are constantly confused and it's so aggravating. Unfortunately, early archaeologists have soured the reputation because of all that "borrowing". The unmitigated gall of those people.
Speaking of ... Tutankhamun's artifacts are currently on display in NYC. I wish I could see them before the exhibit heads back to Egypt. Last time I saw it was 1973 or 74 and the exhibit was in Seattle. :)
