Sir Barrington Windsor Cunliffe CBE (born December 10, 1939), known as Barry Cunliffe, has been Professor of European Archaeology at the University of Oxford since 1972.
After studying at Northern Grammar School (now Mayfield School (Portsmouth), and reading archaeology and anthropology at the University of Cambridge, he became a lecturer at the University of Bristol in 1963. Fascinated by the Roman remains in nearby Bath he threw himself into a programme of excavation and publication. His energy and intelligence drew attention and in 1966 he became an unusually young Professor of Archaeology at the University of Southampton. There he became involved in the excavation (1961-8) of the Roman palace at Fishbourne in Sussex.
Another site in southern England led him away from the Roman period. He began a long series of summer excavations (1969-1988) of the Iron-Age hill fort at Danebury in Hampshire. Other sites he has worked on include Hengistbury Head in Dorset, Mount Batten in Devon, Le Câtel in Jersey and Le Yaudet in Brittany. This reflects his interest in the communities of Atlantic Europe during the Iron Age.
