    Dr. Grant in Jurassic Park made being an archaeologist very cool. Also Rachel Weisz (also known as the crush of every ivy league college student everywhere) in the Mummy series.

    @Justin Cho: Dr. Grant was not an archaeologist. He was a paleontologist. Archaeologists look for artifacts and remains pertaining to human beings. Paleontologists look for the remains of extinct animals such as dinosaurs.

    There's also Alex Benedict and Chase Kolpath, from Jack McDevitt's books. 2005's Seeker even won a Nebula.

    @Briareosdx: Yeah, I'm surprised McDevitt wasn't mentioned. I mean, pretty much ALL of his books deal with interstellar archeology. Which isn't necessarily a good thing, but hey, I liked most of his books.

    Also from Babylon 5: Dr. Vance Hendricks. Dr. Franklin's former professor now turned field archeologist working for the evil Interplanetary Expeditions.

    @gertymac: What about the archaeologist guy from "Crusade"? Speaking of B5. He was always out there translating the dead alien languages and stuff.

    "It's almost as though the Federation's apparent policy of stranding one or two people on an uninhabited planet for years at a time to dig through the remains of a dead civilization was somehow flawed."


    Very nice.

    @Moff: Actually, knowing a good number of archaeologists, I'd say that they're all a bit nuts to begin with.

    @Boas_MC: Truer words have never been spoken. At least the ones I know best are relatively sane.
