    Nothing says “archaeologist” like a pair of handguns to kill everything in your path.

      Combat archaeology should be a thing.

      Need to explore an ancient temple that happens to be on ISIS territory? Time to bring in a combat archaeologist.

        Unfortunately, once the local militant factions see you as an enemy they start to ramp up destruction of history. There was a similar situation in the 2000s when islamic extremists began destroying tombs in Egypt, likely fueled by an opposition to British political intervention including their support of Israel.
