Age:

A focused, gentle female archaeologist in her forties with fair skin, brown hair in a bun and round glasses, kneeling in a dusty beige jacket and brushing aside a recently lifted stone lid to reveal a small round seal with a floral engraving, smiling shyly; her assistant Sam, about 30, short hair and light beard in khaki field clothes, stands slightly behind holding a toolbox and notebook; an 8‑year‑old village girl with black braided hair and a simple blue dress watches in wonder behind a rope while a 6‑year‑old boy in a striped T‑shirt crouches and excitedly points; the scene on a shining riverbank with honey‑colored rolling hills, tall grasses, scattered flat stones and warm orange late‑afternoon light, dust motes, colorful marker flags planted nearby and a camera set on the sand, calm respectful atmosphere, warm ochre‑honey‑blue palette, smooth textures and clear, child‑friendly composition.
