Isis Lincoln the Archaeologist

This would be quick concept art for an African-American archaeologist character from the 1930s, whom I shall call Isis Lincoln. She would have earned her archaeological credentials at Tuskegee University in Alabama, and she would have an appetite for adventure comparable to Indiana Jones. In fact, a large part of the inspiration behind her character comes from the recent suggestion that Indiana himself would be succeeded by a woman, although I personally see Isis more as Indy’s contemporary and maybe even a colleague (or even more than that, at least at one point) if they were to inhabit the same universe.
