Our dear friend (nemesis) Forde has a fellowship at Dumbarton Oaks.  He is on his way to being the boss of the archaeological world.  Forde took a break from being a fancy pants to hang out with us regular folks and gave us a VIP tour of the grounds. 
We got to see the birthing figure that inspired the piece Indiana Jones traded for a bag of sand in Raiders of the Lost Arc . Turns out it is likely a fake!  The whole movie is ruined for me.  Seriously.  Sigh.
