Charles Allen Burney (born 1930) is a British archaeologist known for his discovery of Urartian sites in Turkey in the 1950s and his excavations at Yanik Tepe, Tabriz, Iran from 1960 to 1962.
Burney was a scholar and fellow of the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara from 1954–56 when he carried out archaeological investigations in Turkey and later in Iran.[1] He is particularly known for his identification and sketch surveying of numerous Urartian sites during field expeditions made to the Lake Van region in the mid 1950s[2] and his excavations at Yanik Tepe, Tabriz, Iran from 1960 to 1962. Yanik Tepe is a multi‐period site northwest of Lake Urmia with nine phases, including some of the earliest settlements in the region.[3][4] A collection of studies in his honour, A View from the Highlands &c., was published by Peeters in 2004.[5] Burney has contributed articles to Anatolian Studies and Iran. He was senior lecturer at the University of Manchester.
