Jacques Tixier

Jacques Tixier was a French archaeologist and prehistorian notable for his work on prehistory in Qatar and Lebanon. He led the first French archaeological mission to Qatar in 1976.[1] His team, Mission Archéologique Français à Qatar, discovered Al Khor Island that year.[2] He also discovered an archaeological site in Shagra.[3] Tixier published one of two volumes of the team's findings in 1980, with the second volume being published by his colleague Marie‐Louise Inizan in 1988.[4]
