Uncovering Clues to Success: A Survey of Professional Archaeologists
Mary S. Black
Young Indiana Jones stared at the tomb in disbelief. At age 9, he traveled to Egypt with his family. There, he had the good fortune to meet Howard Carter on the eve of his discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamen. The flickering torch illuminated a life-long interest in Young Indy—discovery of the human past through archaeology (Hales & Lucas, 1992). This scenario from the television series Young Indiana Jones (ABC, 1992–1993) reflects a nugget of truth about gifted boys’ and girls’ interests in mystery and adventure. The emergence of life-long interests in complex phenomena often occurs in children through field trips and family excursions, like Indy’s trip to Egypt (Naiser, 1993).
