About
Tyler received several years of instruction in the classical word at the University of Arkansas where he completed a B.A. in history and classical studies and an M.A in comparative literature. He was an early member of a research group at Arkansas specializing in the virtual reconstruction of Roman houses at Pompeii. Tyler helped see the development of this group into the Tesseract Center for Immersive Environments and Game Design, where he continued working as an environmental artist until arriving in Michigan. In addition to some CRM fieldwork in the United States, Tyler is a several-year veteran of the University of Michigan's Gabii Project where he works as a field topographer and chief of 3D design. His research interests include domestic space in the Roman world, especially its abandonment and reuse during periods of the economic or cultural flux.
