Harrison Ford, lauded by Boston-based Archaeological Institute of
America


BOSTON - The actor who helped glamorize archaeology on the big screen is
lending his star power to the Archaeological Institute of America.

Harrison Ford, who portrays the adventure-seeking Indiana Jones, has been
elected to the Boston-based organization's board of directors. The group
promotes archaeological excavation, research, education and preservation
worldwide.

AIA President Brian Rose says Ford's Indiana Jones character has played a major
part in stimulating interest in archaeological exploration.

The latest installment in the series, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal
Skull," opens in U.S. theaters May 22.
