Roshan Cultural Heritage Institute would like to congratulate Dr. Matthew Stolper and the six students who worked under his supervision during summer 2013 on the Persepolis Fortification Archive (PFA) Project at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago. The PFA is a group of thousands of tablets discovered by archaeologists from the Oriental Institute in 1933. They offer a rare insight into the Achaemenid Persian Empire, including its languages, art, history and administration. Roshan Cultural Heritage Institute Fellows Emily Wilson, Tytus Mikolajczak, Erin Daly, Christina Chandler, Katherine Livingstone and Seunghee Yie made valuable contributions to the ongoing initiative to identify, catalogue and record seals on these tablets and fragments.
