my favorite out of context quotes from my archeology professor so far in no particular order

• and floridians are just as human as you and me!
  
• and the moral of the story is that there are no deadly snakes native to alaska
• you might know this guy as one of the only archaeologists cool enough to be mentioned by indiana jones
• it’s my dream to have my name said by harrison ford
• i’m not going to apologize for having this class at 6am because you paid for it and it’s your fault. 
• we don’t all dress like lara croft. i tried to get it to be a thing on a dig and my colleagues yelled at me. 
• they were pretty good archaeologists except they were too racist to realize anything they found. 
• i take back what i said about us not dressing like lara croft because lewis binford here is wearing nothing but short shorts and a cowboy hat. take notes for an academic halloween costume!
• archaeologists can be good artists! not me, though. or anyone i know. but if you can draw just know you have options.
• sometimes you find dead bodies when you dont really expect it and you just have to deal with it
• archaeologists are the only people allowed to get exited when they find corpses. 
• once i ruined thanksgiving dinner when i told my family i had gotten my degree in archaeology and my uncle commented he liked dinosaurs too
• the closest i’ve ever been to a grizzly bear is when i left my glasses in my tent on a dig in alaska,  saw a big rock in the distance, and almost screamed
