Edward Watkinson was, according to Bernice Summerfield, "one of the century's most noted archaeologists", and "a bit of a hero". His name was attached to the Chair of Archaeology which Summerfield once held at St Oscar's University. His appetite for knowledge was voracious. Summerfield claimed that he'd published more than 10,000 papers in his lifetime, though about half those were written colloboratively. Nevertheless, he performed wholly original research into subjects as diverse as ethnomycology, folsom points and Lvan glass megaliths. Summerfield once wryly noted to her students that the fact he had four arms made her "suspect he could type two papers simultaneously", thus aiding his prolifigacy.

  • Edward Watkinson was, according to Bernice Summerfield, "one of the century's most noted archaeologists", and "a bit of a hero". His name was attached to the Chair of Archaeology which Summerfield once held at St Oscar's University. His appetite for knowledge was voracious. Summerfield claimed that he'd published more than 10,000 papers in his lifetime, though about half those were written colloboratively. Nevertheless, he performed wholly original research into subjects as diverse as ethnomycology, folsom points and Lvan glass megaliths. Summerfield once wryly noted to her students that the fact he had four arms made her "suspect he could type two papers simultaneously", thus aiding his prolifigacy. He once spent a couple of years investigating the origins of human civlisation and became convinced that humans used grain initially to make beer not bread — a view expounded in Beer Before Bread? A Theory Revisited, a paper that was a set part of Summerfield's syllabi. Summerfield's academic output sometimes dealt with Watkinson's theories. Repetitive Poems of the Early Ikkaban Period, for instance, referenced Watkinson's earlier idea that the Ikkaba had immolated themselves because they expected reincarnation.
