The death of Wilson Duff on 8 August 1976 at the age of 51 has deprived the native peoples of the Pacific Northwest of one of their true and most actively helpful non-Indian friends. The respect and affection which they felt for Wilson Duff became touchingly evident to all those who attended the simple memorial ceremony in the new University of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology. On this occasion, Indian representatives from the coast and the interior rose successively to pay tribute and to express their grief in eloquent words at the passing of "this good man." Wilson Duff will be missed no less by his academic colleagues and other friends in British Columbia and elsewhere, and by the many students he taught at the Univemty of British Columbia about Indian life and culture and the native peoples' present problems and aspirations. They mourn in his passing the loss of an inspiring teacher and of a scholar who delved beneath the surface appearance of things to search for the less obvious deeper meanings. My personal sense of loss is especially deep because his tragic death terminates a long friendship and close co-operation on behalf of archaeology in British Columbia which began more than a quarter of a century ago. Since Dr. Michael Ames has recently published a very perceptive review of Wilson Duff's contributions to Northwest Coast Ethnology and Art (BC Studies 31:3-11) the present article will dwell mainly on Duff's contributions to the growth of archaeology in this province. When Dr. Harry B. Hawthorn joined the UBC faculty in 1947 (the first anthropologist to be appointed to a university post in western Canada!) he observed with approval the program of rescue excavations which Dr. Philip Akrigg and I had started in 1945 in an effort to salvage as much information as possible from the rapidly vanishing archaeological sites in the city of Vancouver. In 1948, one year after his arrival, Dr. Hawthorn asked me to organize and direct a small-scale archaeological teaching project as part of his course on the Indians of British Columbia (Anthropology 401 ). Included in the project were lectures and field work
