Dr.
Edward C. Harris,
MBE,
JP,
FSA is a prominent
Bermudian archaeologist. He is best known for the "
Harris matrix", developed in February 1973 and considered by some to be the "industry standard" for stratigraphic archaeology. This was followed by a five-year investigation into archaeological practices. He determined that the methods did not properly account for stratigraphy, and published his findings in 1979 as the
Principles of Archaeological Stratigraphy.
