How to Identify a Real Archaeologist
From your Archaeology Guide
On occasion someone will tell you he's an archaeologist. Here's how you can you tell the Indiana Joneses from the Illinois Smiths.
Difficulty Level:
Average
Time Required:
10 minutes
Here's How:
- Is his face deeply tanned and the skin leather-like?
- Are his hands and fingers scratched and beaten up? Blackened nails a plus.
- Is his nose sunburned and somewhat bulbous at the end?
- Is he wearing his uniform? -- blue jeans, cowboy or farmer hat, archaeology t-shirt,boots
- Are his boots the most expensive thing he's wearing?
- Is the right back pocket of his blue jeans cut at the bottom (trowel damage, be sure to check the left if he's left-handed)
- Does he have squint lines around his eyes, even if he's only 25?
- Did he order beer? Extra points if it's bottled and local.
Tips:
- Give one point for each "Yes;" and three points if #9 achieves the desired effect.
