These few pages provide a very schematic overview of archaeological research in Iran since the end of the
20th century. The recent evolution is sharply marked with the port-revolutionary period with a new policy and
the emergence of new generations of numerous and well-trained archaeologists. Most of them are employed
in the provinces and work on rescue excavations, which are increasingly organised upstream as preventive
excavations, but also on multi-year programs to provide information on less known archaeological periods.
The western half of the country is much better known and more studied than the eastern half, but the recent field
research launched in the south, along the Persian Gulf, and in the northeast (Khorasan) is very promising Ces quelques pages offrent un tableau très schématique de la recherche archéologique en Iran depuis la fin
du 20e siècle. L’évolution est extrêmement marquée avec la période post-révolutionnaire avec l’émergence de
nouvelles générations d’archéologues nombreux et bien formés. La plupart sont employés dans les provinces
et travaillent sur des fouilles de sauvetage de plus en plus organisées en amont en fouilles préventives mais
aussi sur des fouilles programmées pluriannuelles destinées à informer sur les périodes archéologiques moins
bien connues. La moitié ouest du pays est mieux connue et plus étudiée que la moitié est, mais les recherches
récentes impulsées dans le sud, le long du golfe Persique, et dans le nord-est (Khorasan) sont très prometteuses
