Yay!

Feel like I've been waiting ages to be able to post something on here, my excitement has literally known no bounds. I love Indiana Jones and have done since Raiders came out. I can genuinely say that the character has been a hero and an inspiration to me. I grew up wanting to be an archaeologist (never became one but I am an academic specialising in Syro-Palestinian history and the Ancient Near East). Although I did take part in a dig in Israel a few years ago. If anyone wants to hear about this or see some pics just let me know. I feel like I've got lots to contribute and am so looking forward to posting here.

Welcome to the Forum! I'm also new here.Not an academic, but I am currently going for a double major in International Relations/Archeology. My speciality would probably be Mesoamerican peoples since that is the area of archeology i think I understand best from my various classes so far.

Good to see more newbies over here. Welcome to the site, sheffsteve!

Welcome!

Yes, we love to hear about one another's adventures. There are both Archaeology and Globe-Trotting areas in the "off topic" section.

Look forward to reading more there.
