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.
@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.
"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."
& If you're into the whole historic tweeting, there are many other former US presidents to follow. Then, of course there's the guy who's twittering from 1908, twitter.com/TweetCapsule
Don't forget, retired ex-President, Benjamin Harrison's dispensing wisdom, quotes, humor and historical parallels. Twittering via mysterious "instantaneous telegraphy" from the past. https://twitter.com/Pres_BHarrison
