Behind the scenes

Indiana Jones and the Dance of the Giants is set in the summer of 1925 when Indiana Jones begins teaching at London University and initiates what will be his on-again, off-again relationship with Deirdre Campbell which nevertheless culminates with marriage the following year in Indiana Jones and the Seven Veils (and Deirdre's death soon after). However, Indiana Jones: The Ultimate Guide places his romantic involvement with Marion Ravenwood from Spring and Autumn 1925 where The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones has Abner Ravenwood inviting Jones to a dig by letter in the June of that year in which it's mentioned that Ravenwood's friend and protégé has teaching obligations at Marshall College.

The defunct Marshall College database of the official website as well as the 2009 and 2010 Indiana Jones Annuals placed Jones and Marion's liaison in 1926, a more literal interpretation of Marion, during the 1936 setting of Raiders of the Lost Ark, saying it has been ten years since she last saw Jones.
