Bibliography
George Grant MacCurdy (b. 1863, d. 1947) was Curator of Archaeology and Anthropology in the Yale Peabody Museum’s Division of Anthropology from 1902 to 1931, and was internationally known for his research and
publications on human evolution and paleolithic archaeology. While his
work in Connecticut archaeology was overshadowed by his European
research, MacCurdy was also a pioneer in this area, establishing the
Connecticut Archaeological Survey during his tenure at the Peabody
Museum.
