Oscar White Muscarella
Oscar White Muscarella (b. 1931) is an American archaeologist and former research fellow at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where he worked for over 40 years before retiring in 2009. His specialty is the antique art and archeology of the Near East, especially ancient Persia. Muscarella is an untiring opponent of robbery excavations, and some regard him as the "conscience of the industry". Dr. Muscarella received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1965.
==Early life==
He was born Oscar White Jr. and lived with his parents and brother in the Bronx. His father worked as an elevator operator, and the family was poor. In 1939 his mother married Sam Muscarella, Muscarella adopted Oscar and his brother. They lived in lower Manhattan and later in the Bronx, his father seldom making enough money to feed his family. At times they survived on government assistance programs. He attended a Catholic school, Mary Help of Christians, then Public School 104, and then Junior High 40 in the Bronx. Teachers encouraged him to take the tests to qualify for Stuyvesant High in Manhattan. He passed and went there instead of the local high school. At Stuyvesant he joined the Archaeology Club. While living in Manhattan, Muscarella had joined the Gramercy Boy’s Club and fell in love with the books he found in the club library. (In 2000 among several people to whom he dedicated his book, The Lie Made Great, was Miss Jones, the Club's librarian, "my first and best librarian.") During his high school years in the Bronx, Muscarella contributed to family support by shining shoes, working at a ball park and after 14 working as an usher in a local theater. He started university at NYU but for his second year transferred to CCNY as an evening session student, working during the day. He graduated in 1955. At City College of New York, Muscarella was president in 1953 of the Evening Session History Society.
