- David Henry French (30 May 1933 – 19 March 2017) was a British archaeologist known especially for his work in Asia Minor. French was born on 30 May 1933 in Bridlington, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Having received a free place as a direct grant pupil, he was educated at Pocklington School, an independent school in Pocklington. He studied classics at St Catharine's College, Cambridge. French was married to Elizabeth "Lisa" French (nee Wace), a noted Mycenae archaeologist, between the years 1959 and 1975. Together they had two daughters. He was one of the leading archaeologists of his generation and the 4th director of the British Institute at Ankara (BIAA) (1968-1994). After he was appointed to this position, he continued his previous work on Can Hasan, who provided an important overview of the Chalcolithic Period in the region and determined the transitional sequences from the Neolithic period. Among the many projects, salvage excavations at Aşvan Castle and Tille Höyük stand out. In the field of epigraphy, David French initiated a major project: the investigation of Asia Minor milestones, resulting in an unprecedented mapping of the ancient routes in Anatolia and became an important reference work. Although the project took many years of fieldwork, David French managed to record milestones and related inscriptions in all the Roman provinces of Anatolia west of the Euphrates. French published his first monograph on this project in 1981 and a two-volume preliminary catalogue in 1988. His final publications, Roman Roads and Milestones of Asia Minor 3: Milestones and Roman Roads and Milestones of Asia Minor 4: Road published by BIAA as e-monographs. He made significant contributions to the Institute's scientific output until his death. To honor him and his hardworks for the Institute his name is given to Institute's library: The David H. French Library. After his death the book David French: A Life in Anatolian Archaeology was published in 2020. (en)
