Excellent. Then you don't mind getting a bit dirty.

What you'll be doing on site is photographing the artifacts before they've been removed from their place of discovery. It's a documentation both of precisely where they were found, in case of error in the written records, and a visual inventory to catch out any thefts. If we have a photograph of an artifact and the museum does not possess said artifact, then we know to contact security and have an accurate image of what was stolen.

[And conversely, if he can smuggle things out of the dig site without a picture being taken of it, it will be as if it had never existed. No one will suspect any thefts and Belloq can say that he takes exacting security precautions.]
