Mr. McDougal is an archaeologist who has had some Indiana Jones-type adventures in his career. ''I was working on a Mayan site that had been reclaimed by the Belizian jungle,'' says McDougal. ''It was just like an Indiana Jones moment — minus the golden object, the rolling boulder, the angry natives, the plane, the fedora, and the snakes. But there was a whip and a mad Frenchman.''
