In this video, I examine the fictional archaeologist, Indiana Jones and speculate how the character and his research methods might fair in the real world of modern academia. I will discuss many basic and key concepts in the scientific field of archaeology through examining the character’s actions in the famous film series and grading him on what I believe he does correct and does incorrect. This video in particular examines Indiana’s Pre-Excavation/Pre-Field work actions and compares them to what real researchers in similar circumstances might do.
Grab your whips and get ready to raid some ancient tombs and temples, hope you enjoy!
