I haven't seen Pynchon's latest (although now it seems I have to), but I
just discovered Kage Baker, a sci fi writer who dabbles in time travel and
includes history and archaeology in her books and short stories. She even
has an Australopithecus character. In a short story called "The Yellow
Queen" she has a thoroughly believeable version of Petrie. Here's a quote I
nabbed from it (with her permission):
