Looking for a story about an archaeologist

[boleklolek90]

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a story - almost certain it was posted on Gromet's - about an archaeologist getting enslaved while doing research on a desert.
Pretty sure the story was narrated from the archaeologist POV. The main character notices her assistant missing and then finds her being wrangled by a group of slavers that try to add her to a coffle.
Obviously she gets noticed, and captured.

The story was rather short, and it's been on my mind the last couple of weeks - trying to recall what the title is    Help would be much appreciated to ease my poor brain haha.

Coffle's not a particularly common phrase, so maybe there are few enough Sitesearch results for you to find it?

True, it is not. The thing is I'm not entirely sure that the word was used in the story.
Not to mention I tried searching left and right with every word that comes to mind with no results
Hence, my last resort - hoping that someone else liked the story and remembers it
