The Archaeologist (with an Egypt specialty) will have a “sidekick,” a colleague (perhaps a grad student she’s mentoring) with an Indiana Jones complex. The sidekick insists on wearing the fedora a lot and is always looking for adventure, disappointed to be stuck mainly with grunt work archaeology. His/her courage bales a bit in the face of real danger, but he/she manages to stick it out and emerge cocky, Indy-like. Comic relief through silliness; serves to contrast with the heroine and show that she did NOT enter archaeology to be Indiana Jones.
Because I certainly do not intend to write the fifth movie in writing a story about a subject I’ve long enjoyed.
