Biography

I am a European researcher specializing in Bronze Age Iran (IVth-IInd millennium BC). I worked for 7 years in Iran where I taught archaeology at Tehran University and took part in the excavations of the important civilization of Jiroft.

I could reach recently the decipherment of the Linear Elamite writing, used in southern Iran between 2300 and 1900 BC :

I currently work on the birth of writing in the world at the end of the IVth millennium BC, more specifically in Iran with the Proto-Elamite writing system. This research is led in the ARC project VariGraph, in collaboration with Pr. Laurent Colonna d'Istria (Mesopotamia) and Pr. Stéphane Pollis (Egypt).
