>Born in Preston, Ontario, he received a doctorate in archaeology
>from Yale University in 1964. His research interests include the
>history of archaeological research and the comparative study of
>early cultures. He taught at Northwestern University for a year in
>1964 and since then has been in the Department of Anthropology at
>McGill University in Montr=E9al. For his in-depth study of the
>ethnohistory of the Hurons, he has been adopted as an honorary
>member of the Huron-Wendat Nation. His book A History of
>Archaeological Thought is a must for anyone who wishes to
>understand the development of archaeology as a discipline. In 2003
>a session at the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) conference
>was dedicated to the research of Bruce Trigger.
