A real-life Indiana Jones still dresses like his idol - but says archeology is not what it used to be. Julian Collinson, 23, has revealed the difference in his job as an archaeologist and that of fictional explorer Indiana Jones ahead of the character’s latest film.
He has been working with Cotswold Archaeology for two years having studied the topic at university. Alongside his studies, he has also taken part in research digs at world heritage sites across Gibraltar as well as cosplaying as his favourite fictional archaeologist, Indiana Jones.
Ahead of the latest film’s release this week, Julian, of Swindon, spoke about the differences between real-life archaeology and what we see on the big screen. He said: “Indiana Jones has a very old method of going and taking what’s there to bring it back for a museum whereas what I do it very different.
