  • Descrição: When W. C. McKern became head of anthropology at the Milwaukee Public Museum in 1925 he continued the Museum's tradition of systematic research begun by his predecessor, S. A. Barrett, almost a decade earlier. I joined McKern's staff in early 1927 and remained with him during most of the time his taxonomic method was taking form. Our close association in the laboratory and in the field led to frequent discussions of the urgent need for a classification system that would permit orderly arrangement of midwestern archaeological data in a manner indicative of cultural relationships. In 1929 I suggested utilizing the rationale of the Linnaean taxonomic system which, like midwestern archaeology of that period, was quite dependent on form for classification. Although skeptical, McKern tried my proposal on data he collected and found that it could work. During the next three years he worked out the details of the system, using me constantly as his critic. Then came another several years of more public presentations, criticisms and suggestions by others, and revisions. His paper on the Midwestern Taxonomic Method was published in 1939.
