French is a former warden of Ashburne Hall [1] Manchester and former director of the British School at Athens and an authority in Mycenaean archaeology, especially pottery and terracotta figurines.^[1]^[2] French developed a detailed classification scheme for a series of Mycenaean terra cotta figurines dating from the Late Helladic period (c.1500 - 1100 B.C.).^[3] She coined the term kourotrophos for a particular class of these artifacts depicting a woman holding a child.^[4] She has been involved in excavation and publication of archaeological excavation at Mycenae for many years^[5] and recently completed a survey of the remains around Mycenae in collaboration with the Archaeological Society of Athens.^[6] Her lucid account of the monuments and history of Mycenae itself^[7] will remain the standard textbook for many years. Her joint publication with P.S. Stockhammer, 'Correlating recent research: the pottery of Mycenae and Tiryns in the second half of the 13th Century BC', Annual of the British School at Athens, 106 (2009) 175-232 is the first attempt to align discoveries at the two most important Mycenaean sites.
