Jean Perrot (born 1920 – ) is a French archaeologist who specialised in the late prehistory of the Middle East and Near East.[1]
Biography
Perrot researched a number of ancient sites in Iran, Palestine and Turkey, animating the research at international level. He first went to Iran in 1968, a year after the retirement of Roman Ghirshman, to head the Delegation Archéologique Français (DAFI) and excavations of the country's ancient sites. He headed a multidisciplinary team in conjunction with the Iranian Centre of Archaeological Research, including experts from France, Iran and the United States who continued studies until the revolution in 1979. He worked on sites such as Susa, Munhata and Jafar Abad and took measures to safeguard the vestiges of the Achaemenid period (between the sixth and fourth millennia BC). His notable discoveries included ancient items such as the headless statue of Darius which is now housed in the National Museum of Iran in Tehran.[2]
In 1952, Perrot founded the "Mission archéologique française", now called the French Research Center in Jerusalem; a joint research unit of the General Directorate for International Cooperation and Development and the CNRS. It is the CNRS's oldest foreign branch and became a permanent archaeological base in 1974. The current director since 1996 is Dominique Bourel.
In 1973, Perrot founded the notable journal Paléorient with Bernard Vandermeersch along with the the aid of the Wenner-Gren Foundation. In 1975, this became a publication of the CNRS. The journal is now published twice a year and distributed in twenty-two countries, it is recognized for presentations and discussions of research in all aspects of the prehistory and protohistory of the near and middle east.[3]
Perrot returned to France to become director of the CNRS, which he joined in 1946 and for which he is now an honorary research director and correspondant. He is a Professor at the University of Paris III: Sorbonne Nouvelle, Director of the Institute of general and applied linguistics and phonetics and Associate of grammar and graduate from the Inter-University Centre of Hungarian studies.
