William Duncan Strong
William Duncan Strong (1899-1962) was an American archaeologist and anthropologist noted as an authority on indigenous peoples of North and South America. He is credited with the discovery of the tomb of the war god Ai apaec in Peru in 1946.[1] He was influential in the development and recognition of the Direct historical approach.[2] Detailed field journals he kept during his expeditions contain valuable ethnographic information he collected.[citation needed] He was born in Portland, Oregon, and after several earlier academic posts, was a member of the faculty of Columbia University from 1937 until his death in 1962.[1] During his career, Strong trained many notable archaeologists including Gordon Willey, Waldo Wedel, and others.
