[Various (1971)] dubbed, rapidly became a collector's item. The title was The Pre-Iroquoian Occupation of New York State (Memoir No. 1, Rochester Museum of Arts and Sciences). This work earned him the A. Cressy Morrison Prize of the New York Academy of Sciences in 1943. In 1949 he moved from Rochester to Albany, where he became State Archeologist in the New York State Museum and Science Service, a position he has held until his retirement. Through the years after the Second World War and publication of the "green bible," his work output has, if anything, increased. Prior to 1944 he had established the existence, trait content, relative chronology, and broader relationships of the principal cultures and traditions, which preceded the historic Iroquois. Much of his subsequent work has constituted a refinement and clarification of the basic concepts, aided by the new tool of radiocarbon dating. Nevertheless, changes in his own thinking have resulted in very significant theoretical and methodological advances. For example, his collaboration with R. S. MacNeish in development of ceramic typology for the Northeast led to tentative formulation of the in situ hypothesis of Iroquoian origins, later to be confirmed through fieldwork by him and other students. This typology, followed by his highly successful projectile point typology published in 1961, provided keys, which have since unlocked many doors in the mansion of northeastern prehistory.
