About This Book

The narrative recounts the author's expedition to excavate ancient remains at Susa, blending travel diary, logistical and diplomatic challenges, and archaeological description. It follows preparations and voyages, negotiations with local authorities, organization of a field team, and the systematic uncovering of tumuli, palaces, and artifacts. Detailed observations of monuments and landscapes alternate with reflections on cultural encounters and the practicalities of fieldwork. Many plates and photographs accompany the text, illustrating finds and site topography, while episodic anecdotes convey the physical hardships and scholarly excitement of excavation.
