Line 97:
* Dr. Roger Burrows of the ''[[Tunnels]]'' series thinks about himself this way. In reality, while he is an archaeologist and he does go on a perilous adventure, he is too much of a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] to really fit the mold.
* Dr. Nina Wilde in Andy McDermott's ''The Hunt For Atlantis'' and subsequent sequels; she specializes in mythological legends such as Atlantis and Excalibur. [[In the Blood|Her parents were also archaeologists]] and were murdered on an expedition to the Himalayas to find evidence of Atlantis.
* In the [[Star Trek Deep Space Nine relaunchRelaunch]], the crew of the ''Even Odds'' are often in line with this trope. Technically they're a retrieval squad, but they usually have a genuine archaeologist or two among them. While research is implied to be their primary activity, the resident archaeologists certainly participate in the actual retrievals, which usually involve the sort of excitement you don't find on genuine digs.
* In the [[Star Trek: Mirror Universe]], the novel ''Worst of Both Worlds'' has Jean Luc Picard of the Mirror Universe as a Treasure Hunter while also being a slave for Gul Madred. He eventually runs away and uses the treasures and wonders he's found to destroy the Borg Cube that invades the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance.
* In the ''[[Virals]]'' series by Kathy Reichs, Tory Brennan and her fellow virals are this when trying to find a female pirate's treasure.
