Edward Cecil 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.
While attending Columbia University School of General Studies in the United States[citation needed], Harris spent the summers assisting on archaeological digs in Winchester, England.
After graduating, he continued his archaeological work, including in Bergen, Norway and along the Persian Gulf.
He is a frequent contributor to the annual Bermuda Journal of Archaeology and Maritime History, and has served as its editor.
