Manuel Ruiz Barroso is a Researcher at the University of Cadiz specializing in Ancient History. His institutional affiliations include:

• Department: History, Geography and Philosophy
• Research Institute: Instituto de Investigación Vitivinícola y Agroalimentaria (IVAGRO)
• Research Group: HUM240 "Patrimonio Histórico de Andalucía en la Antigüedad"

He earned his Doctorate from the University of Cadiz in 2023 with a thesis on non-invasive historical-archaeological investigation of the Roman city of hasta regia, supervised by Dr. José Antonio Ruiz Gil and Dr. Pedro Luis Galindo Riaño.

Dr. Ruiz Barroso's research centers on Ancient History and Archaeology, with emphasis on non-invasive prospection methods (particularly GPR) for studying Roman urbanism, port structures, and historical heritage sites across Spain and Portugal. His work reconstructs ancient landscapes through interdisciplinary approaches while minimizing physical intervention.

His 2021-2022 publications demonstrate consistent application of geophysical techniques to diverse contexts—from Roman cities in Portugal to Renaissance churches in Andalusia—highlighting methodological versatility and cross-period applicability of non-invasive archaeology.
