William Duncan Strong (1899–1962) was one of the 20th century's preeminent anthropologists.

From this position, Strong organized a field expedition to Honduras in 1933, focusing on the Bay Islands and the northeastern mainland of the country, a region which lies outside the area of Mayan occupation and remains poorly understood by anthropologists to this day.

Strong, who died in 1962, worked in a number of subfields of his discipline, becoming best known for archaeological studies in both North and South America.

Strong found that all three divisions of the Cahuilla---Pass, Desert, and Mountain---employ the term îvîat in referring to their own language.

Hill.

In this exhibit we present six (among many) important individuals who represent the founding of an anthropological tradition at Columbia: Franz Boas, Margaret Mead, Ruth Benedict, Edward Sapir, Harry Shapiro, and William Duncan Strong—three cultural anthropologists, a linguist, a physical anthropologist, and an archeologist.
Boas, Shapiro, and Strong served only as faculty members, while Benedict and Mead were graduate students and then teachers.

In Political Identity and Archaeology in Northeast Honduras, Thomas Cuddy fills a substantial void in the scholarship on the origins of complex societies and the Central American political landscape, drawing on previously unexamined research conducted by anthropologist William Duncan Strong during a 1933 expedition to find the southern reaches of Maya culture.
Cuddy, working with Strong’s untapped fieldwork, examines symbolic expressions to reconstruct the dynamic contexts that structured power in Central American prehistory and shaped the political identity of northeast Honduras.
By being similar to, but distinct from, their powerful neighbors, the polities of northeast Honduras created their own senses of power and identity that served their continued growth while states and empires crumbled around them.
