Hello all
I am trying to compile a list of all *major* archaeologists of popular
culture (fiction, TV, movies etc). Here is my list so far. Who can add
anything?
Please respond offline and send full details on books, films, webpages
etc. If requested, I will repost later an updated list with your
additions.
Note that this is not a full list of all archaeologists ever mentioned
but a list of some particularly interesting major examples for prominent
archaeologists in various genres of popular culture. I suspect that I
may have overlooked a few good ones, hence this mail (to arch-theory,
britarch and arch-de simultaneously). Antworten gerne auch auf deutsch.
