Metal Detecting Questions:
Is Indiana Jones an Archaeologist or a treasure Hunter?
In my class we were discussing this.
An Archaeologist is a person who will record everything they can about the artifact they found, But he just blows everything up.
He would be a treasure Hunter…
Wouldn’t he?
His attitude is typical of archaeologists of his time period. Well, the first couple of movies, anyway. The Indiana movies take places in the 1930s and 1940s, and a lot of archaeologists considered themselves adventurers as well as scientists. It was a good way to cloud objectivity and it really caused some problems. Archaeologists today are much more scientists than they were back then.
So for the 1930s, he would have been a passable archaeologist, except for the shooting and explosions and ghosts.
If he were around today he would have lost tenure, at the very least, for the stunts he’s pulled. Archaeologists are much more aware today of indigenous people and their ownership of their cultural heritage. He’d be branded a thief in 2009, and he’d be lucky if that’s all that happened to him.
But the movies tend to deal more with legendary, supernatural subjects, and so things get a little cloudy. Indy’s activities have a moral tint to them, more often than not, and so he comes out looking a little cleaner than a normal person might.
