the graduate students accepted for the second year of the MA program at
William and Mary (1980) were asked to identify Walter Taylor and his conjunctive
method on a preliminary exam to assess the knowledge of the group...No one
provided a correct answer and we were subsequently chastised for it. Consequently,
an ad hoc Walter Talyor Society and Marching Band was established complete
with "uniforms". I remember long sessions at the local "deli" discussing the
merits of Taylor's contribution and relevance to the historical archaeology. I
hope some of the other members might chime in to confirm this distant memory!
