Ginessa Mahar, a lab manager at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, knows the ups and downs of archaeology. “I’ve done high-altitude surveying in Nevada and underwater archaeology along the Jersey Shore,” says the 30-year-old digger, who uses everything from metal detectors to portable x-ray fluorescence machines to uncover relics. Mahar took a break from excavating 500-year-old Spanish artifacts on an island off the Georgia coast to tell us about her favorite gear.

Sure Jen, but is that property of the Museum, or her's? And even if it is her's, do you think it's a good idea, as an anthropologist, to be advertising sexism while in the employ of the State?
If male sexism is decried by females, then surely female sexism should be doubly decried, for it smacks of double standards, and lessens the moral high-grounds.
Anyway, there's some cool tools in that kit. "It's good to be the King."
