The fourth title in the collection, this thesis from the École du Louvre is the study of a set of ceramics discovered in Susa – in western Iran – during French excavations carried out since 1897 on the site and preserved for the most part at the Louvre Museum but also at the National Archaeology Museum of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. These are painted ceramics produced during the first occupation of the site and dated between 4200 and 3600 BC. They were unearthed in the years 1906–1908 and are largely unpublished. The study of this collection was carried out in two stages: first, the inventory of 358 objects (out of the 1000 to 1500 pieces that make up the collection) which were photographed, described and commented on in the catalog of this work. The study then focused on the classification by form (essentially cups, tall goblets and small carinated or globular jars) as well as on the stylistic approach to the forms and painted decoration of the ceramics. Collection "Research Memoirs of the Louvre School".
