Peregrine developed a comprehensive data set and methodology for conducting diachronic cross-cultural research. He used this to write the ''Atlas of Cultural Evolution'' and, with Melvin Ember, the ''Encyclopedia of Prehistory''. He developed the organizational structure for the Human Relations Area Files (eHRAF) Archaeology.
Peregrine has conducted archaeological fieldwork in North America, Syria, and South America. Much of his fieldwork has involved the use of geophysical techniques to identify buried archaeological deposits. In 2009 Peregrine started the Lawrence University Archaeological Survey, which focuses on using geophysical techniques to locate unmarked graves in early Wisconsin cemeteries.
In 2011 Peregrine was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Provided by Wikipedia
