The Schuyler Effect: From Brooklyn to Lowell, Utah, and Beyond

Summary

Over the past half century Robert Schulyer’s penetrating intellect and rigorous scholarship has had a deep and sustained impact on the development and maturation of the field of Historical Archaeology. His impact has been nowhere as profound as in his role as a mentor to generations of students. Not a few of those students share the common experience of having their professional career course sent careening, topsy-turvy, in unanticipated directions under the influence of Schulyer’s catholic approach to the field and his provocative advocacy of a broad and deep professional practice. This is one such happy victim's story. It is the story of how, under the influence of the "Schuyler Effect", my boyhood ambitions of an academic career in marine biology evolved, instead, into a thirty year stint as an archeologist with the National Park Service.
