Jacques Gabriel Bulliot (born January 17, 1817 in Autun , † January 13, 1902 in Autun) was a French wine merchant and amateur archaeologist.
His most important achievement is the localization of the Gallic oppidum Bibracte on Mont Beuvray . As the capital of the Gallic tribe of the Haedu, Biberacte was an important trade and cultural center and in 58 BC. Scene of the Battle of Bibracte , in which Gaius Julius Caesar defeated the Helvetii tribe .
After a long time of controversy in modern times as to whether Bibracte was in Autun , the later Gallo-Roman city, or on today's Mont Beuvray, it was only Bulliot's excavations from 1867 onwards that succeeded in refuting the opinion of science that favored Autun. His nephew Joseph Déchelette first worked with him and then significantly continued the work in Bibracte.
