Chris Gaffney is Professor of Archaeological Prospection at University of Bradford, specializing in non-invasive archaeological investigation and digital heritage visualization. His 35-year career has pioneered remote sensing applications across prehistoric landscapes, Roman cities, and industrial heritage sites.
Research focuses on developing cutting-edge techniques for documenting fragile heritage, including projects at Durrington Walls, Calanais stone circles, and industrial Bradford. Recent work explores digital twins of historical cities (2025), accuracy in spatiotemporal documentation (2023), and crowdsourcing heritage imagery (2019, 2022).
Professor Gaffney directs multidisciplinary projects that integrate geophysical survey, 3D documentation, and landscape analysis. His methods reveal why certain locations held significance in the past while developing preservation strategies for threatened heritage through digital recording.
He maintains global collaborations advancing archaeological prospection methodologies and leads initiatives documenting heritage at risk through innovative digital approaches.
