Peter N. Peregrine (born November 29, 1963) is an American anthropologist, registered professional archaeologist,[1] and academic.[2] He is well known for his promotion of the use of science in anthropology,[3][4] and for his popular textbook Anthropology (with Carol R. Ember and Melvin Ember).[5] Peregrine did dissertation research on the evolution of the Mississippian culture of North America, and conducted fieldwork on Bronze Age cities in Syria. He is currently Professor of Anthropology and Museum Studies at Lawrence University and Research Associate of the Human Relations Area Files at Yale University.[6] From 2012 to 2018 he was an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute.
Peregrine developed a comprehensive data set and methodology for conducting diachronic cross-cultural research. He used this to write the Atlas of Cultural Evolution[7] and, with Melvin Ember, the Encyclopedia of Prehistory.[8] He developed the organizational structure for the Human Relations Area Files (eHRAF) Archaeology.[9]
Peregrine has conducted archaeological fieldwork in North America, Syria,[10] and South America.[11] Much of his fieldwork has involved the use of geophysical techniques to identify buried archaeological deposits. In 2009 Peregrine started the Lawrence University Archaeological Survey, which focuses on using geophysical techniques to locate unmarked graves in early Wisconsin cemeteries.[12]
In 2011 Peregrine was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[13]
