Summary: "A Suse: Journal des fouilles, 1884-1886" by Jane Dieulafoy is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work documents Dieulafoy's archaeological expeditions to the ancient site of Susa in Iran, detailing her experiences and discoveries during the excavation process. Given her background and strong personal involvement, the book likely sheds light on the significant historical context of the region, particularly regarding its rich cultural heritage and artifacts. At the start of the journal, Dieulafoy reflects on her previous travels across Persia and the sense of excitement that leads her and her husband to embark on this archaeological mission. A notable clear intention is to resume excavations at Susa, stirring her husband's imaginations of the past glories of the Achaemenid Empire. Despite significant challenges, including bureaucratic obstacles in obtaining excavation permissions and managing the logistics of the expedition, Dieulafoy's narrative showcases a blend of adventure, historical curiosity, and personal anecdotes. Early entries set the stage for a journey filled with cultural encounters, logistical challenges, and reflections on past civilizations, inviting readers to witness the unfolding story of discovery and the passion behind the pursuit of historical knowledge.
