Artea Holmwood. Harker had actually done some research on her while researching Yakov Perelman.
She was the child of Arthur Holmwood, the headmaster of Holmwood University. His family had apparently founded the school in 1886. But their legacy spanned for several centuries before that, as they were well-known for their contribution to archeology, anthropology and other historical discoveries.
It was a woman named Artea, this girls' namesake, who had found the first piece of the meteor that supposedly brought the dinosaurs to extinction in 1566. This predated even Mary Anning's finding of dinosaur bones in 1799 and the discovery of the Chicxulub crater in 1978. They compared the rock sample to the crater and confirmed that it was indeed part of this meteor.
But more than that, he was interested in what this Artea was all about.
