In the world of Archaeology, archaeologists follow what is essentially the scientific method in their research and excavations. This can be very tedious and hands on, but the types of dangers in this field are not accurately portrayed in Indiana Jones and the people who are portrayed as archaeologists in Indiana Jones are not what one would call scientific in their pursuits. Instead, the characters who are acting as archaeologists in Indiana Jones follow the pattern of one who is seeking to obtain things of intrinsic value, in much the same way as a treasures seeker or antique dealer.

What are the positive and negative things about being an archaeologist?

Negatives* If you work in the field, you may end up crippled by the time you are 30 from heavy lifting, hard physical work and being out in all weathers. * For a job which requires a degree, in many cases it does not offer a great rate of pay. * The job market is often unstable, and much of the work is seasonal. * There are limited research grants compared to many other areas such as natural sciences. * You have to go to school for a LONG time. Positives * If you're an archaeologist, you'll certainly be doing it for the love of the job and will not be deterred by any of the above. * You will be able to converse with strangers at dinner parties with ease. Everyone is interested in your job. * You get to be the first person to see an artifact left behind by another human being possibly thousands and thousands of years ago.* Your work is relevant to everyone, the human past is everyone's past. * Although Indiana Jones is just a film, excavation adventures can be pretty unique. * You may also get to travel the world.
