When you brought up dinosaurs, I was surprised. I'd always associated them with paleontology, and not archaeology. Is there some discipline of archaeology that also digs up giant lizards, too?

I'd always thought archaeologists were the ones who bulldozed through multiple levels of ancient cities to find the gold and the glory (Heinrich Schlieman. Woo!), or who ran around jungles armed with a whip and a nifty hat finding the Ark of the Covenant. I suppose, if Schliemann had found dinosaurs, that would have been even more awesome.
