Scavi Tour at the Vatican

I was able to book tickets for the Scavi tour at the Vatican. I noticed on the lists of things you can't bring it lists cameras.... so does it really mean cameras (our ticket is for 4 pm so I will have my camera with me as we will have been sightseeing all day) or were the rest of the words just cut off? Is there a place for me to check my camera like a bag before we head to the excavations office for the tour? Thanks!
