Interesting but dull

Indiana Jones does not represent real archeologists! No kidding. I have known a few of the real ones. They are interesting enough, at first. But how many times can you explain shards, as well as chert and other lithic technology. One of the chief complaints about them–that the stuff they find is forever sealed in warehouses beyond public view–is absolutely true. Although nowadays the more enterprising ones will put the pictures of it on the Web. And you can join an archeo society to gain admission.
