An incredibly nerdy Indy topic

but hey, aren't they all, really?
Ok, let's pretend Indy was a real feller. Doctor, PhD, professor, the whole works. But what kind of a writer was he? I'm not talking subject matter, I'm talking style. Would he have posted here, was he glib and pithy? Or was he dry, scientifically long-winded and polemical, and not all that fun to read. Detail oriented and astute? Generalizing and vague? Was he a populist like a Brian Fagan or a Mortimer Wheeler or a Gordon Childe? Did he write like he spoke, ironical, tough-guy, and to the point? Or rambling… was he a ramblin' guy… ...
What might be some titles of archaeology/occult/professional papers that he might have written?
Think of this as a more conceptual approach to IndyGear...
