Could you add bsky.app/profile/CAA-... to the Digital Archaeology starter pack? It is an account for the CAA-International special interest group on scientific scripting languages in archaeology. The SSLA group promotes digital archaeology, particularly the use of R and other open coding languages.

As an archaeology professor, one of my main jobs is teaching students to dig holes together. If they can learn to keep the sidewalls straight and document what they find, they'll learn a lot. And maybe they'll find out what's making that noise.

There are a couple of foreign films I can think of: The Night of Counting the Years, an Egyptian film made in 1969 that you can find on youtube (but maybe not anywhere else), and Ragnarok -- a 2013 Norwegian movie about an archaeologist looking for Vikings and finding a monster.
