Tania Ghirshman

Tania Ghirshman (1900–1984), born Antoinette Levienne, was a French archaeologist and restorationist. Originally a dentist, Ghirshman became involved in archaeology after her marriage to Roman Ghirshman, with whom she directed numerous excavations in Iran and Afghanistan, most notably the ancient city of Susa. She adapted her skills in dentistry to restoration, as well as providing illustrations and reproductions for her husband's publications. Her memoir, Archéologue malgré moi (Archaeologist in Spite of Myself), was awarded a Prix Broquette-Gonin in literature by the Académie française in 1971.
