What do you think "archeology" is about? What influences your conception of the discipline?

I think the best thing to summarize my perception of acheology would be the Indiana Jones picture that was posted. Being a poli sci major, I'm not too familiar archeolgy and the things that come with that particular field. Therefore, like your average joe... I go by what I see in movies and pop culture. Archeology to me are people who dig through rocks to find fossils, or hidden treasures out in the middle of nowhere like a desert. Am I right? Probably not but that's all I have to go with.
