Archaeologist buried alive seeking relics
VIENNA (Reuters) - An Austrian archaeologist has been buried alive and killed after the pit he was working in collapsed in Salzburg, Austria.
Two women working with him were able to dig out from the dirt and call for help, but their 30-year-old colleague from a Salzburg museum suffocated, police said on Friday.
The archaeologists were looking for relics on a long-buried Roman farm that is now on the grounds of an industrial site.
Belloq: What a fitting end to your life's pursuits [Dr. Jones]. You're about to become a permanent addition to this archaeological find. Who knows? In a thousand years, even you may be worth something.
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
