Photorealistic Archaeologist in a Mountain Cave

Ultra-detailed photorealistic scene of a field archaeologist in a cool, damp mountain cave. The archaeologist wears a khaki field jacket, cargo pants, sturdy boots, a hard hat with a bright headlamp, and a weathered backpack. They kneel on uneven stone, brushing away dirt with a small trowel and a soft brush. In the foreground, partially revealed are ancient artifacts: painted pottery sherds, a bone fragment, and a fragment of a carved figurine. The cave walls show layered sediment, rough textures, and patches of green moss; stalactites hang from the ceiling, and a low stalagmite cluster rises nearby. A cave mouth to the left allows pale daylight to mix with the warm glow of the headlamp, creating volumetric light rays and floating dust motes. The air is humid and slightly hazy. Realistic skin tones, fabric textures, and dirt on gloves are visible, as are chalk dust on the trowel and frayed rope in the background. The scene uses earthy colors - ochre, gray, rust, and muted greens - with dramatic contrast and cinematic lighting. Camera at eye level, shallow depth of field focusing on the archaeologist and the dig site, background softly blurred into bokeh. 8k ultra-high-definition, hyperrealistic textures and micro-detailing, natural lighting, and a cinematic composition that captures discovery and quiet concentration.
