Roshan Cultural Heritage Institute would like to commend Dr. Matthew Stolper (John A. Wilson Professor Emeritus of Oriental Studies, The University of Chicago), Dr. Mark Garrison (Alice Pratt Brown Professor of Art and Art History, Trinity University), and students Christina Chandler and Erin Daly, for their excellent work on the Persepolis Fortification Archive (PFA) Project during summer 2014. This initiative has been supported by Roshan Institute since 2013.
Under the supervision of Professor Stolper, Director, PFA Project, and Professor Garrison, PFA Project Editor, Ms. Chandler and Ms. Daly recorded and documented seal impressions on tablets discovered at Persepolis. Their work is crucial to the study of Elamite and Aramaic texts inscribed on these tablets, and contribute to advancing scholarship in Persian Achaemenid studies. In addition, both students earned valuable first-hand experience with important artifacts and plan to pursue their work in the PFA Project and in Persian Studies. Ms. Chandler is currently a first year Ph.D. candidate in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology at Bryn Mawr College and Ms. Daly began the Ph.D. program in Classics at The University of Chicago.
