eng-CADuring his spare time, William Baker Nickerson investigated
sites from New England to the Midwest and into the Canadian
Prairies. In the course of exploration, he created an elegant and
detailed record of discoveries and developed methods which later
archaeologists recognized as being ahead of their time. By middle
age, he was en route to becoming a professional contract
archaeologist. However, after a very good start, during World War I
archaeological commissions disappeared and failed to recover for
many years afterward. Consequently, in spite of heroic efforts,
Nickerson was unable to restore his scientific career and died in
obscurity. His life story spans the transition of North American
archaeology from museums and historical societies to universities,
throwing light on a phase of history that is little known.
