Reflections of a Michigan State Graduate’s Career in the American West

Summary

I am primarily a western archaeologist and studied under Dr. William Lovis as a graduate student from 1976 to 1979. That was early in Bill’s career. I had many mentors in my formative years as an undergraduate and graduate student, as well as early in my archaeology career. Bill was my last academic mentor and the most influential. My training at Michigan State University has influenced my approach to archaeological projects, analysis of site data, and conclusions about such projects. In this paper I describe several projects and experiences in my subsequent work in the Intermountain West as a professional archaeologist where my MSU training and influence was evident and, sometimes, key to decisions and conclusions made.
