More evidence of the political status of archaeology. This latest agreement between Iran and... wait for it... France also includes a deal to develop hotels. So much for science.
Iran and France signed an agreement in Paris on Wednesday night to cooperate in archaeology. According to the agreement signed for Iran by Head of Iran's Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization Hossein Marashi and for France by its Minister of State for Cooperation, Development and Francophonie Xavier Darcos, the French experts are to offer educational and training courses for their young Iranian colleagues.
